Re: Painting pine-lined ceiling with beams 3May 26, 2015 9:40 pm if it is pine lined, it is probably coated in a varnish. This will cause adhesion problems, so a light sand and a coat of acrylic primer would be a good idea before attacking it with top coat. for this particular ceiling avoid ceiling white, it will breath a bit much and possibly let moisture break down the coating because of its inability to disperse through the pine. for this reason use a higher quality top coat. All in all probably the easiest thing would be an exterior self priming low sheen acrylic, which negates the need for a primer!
