About Product Overview

Zinsser Dryfall Waterborne Flat Black is built for overhead and hard-to-mask jobs where traditional paint just isn't practical. Spray it on ceilings, structural steel, ductwork, or exposed beams in warehouses, gyms, or plants, and the overspray dries into a fine powder that falls to the floor instead of sticking to everything below it. That means less time taping off equipment and more time getting the job done.

This is a professional-grade coating meant for airless spray application, not a brush-and-roller job. The acrylic, water-based formula acts as paint and primer in one, so you're not adding an extra coat to your schedule, and it's rated for a 3-year service life once it's down.

  • Water-based acrylic dryfall coating
  • Flat black finish
  • 5-gallon container covers up to 2,000 sq. ft.
  • Recoat in as little as 1 hour; full cure in 7 days
  • Paint and primer combined in a single product
  • Cleans up with detergent and warm water

Go ahead. Check.

You're going to open the other tab. Everybody does. We'd rather say so than pretend otherwise — so open it. We'll wait.

When you're over there, check four things before you click buy.

01

Who's actually selling it

The brand name is on the listing. A different company is in the seller field. Those aren't the same thing, and the second one is who you're buying from.

02

Whether the warranty survives

Most manufacturers only honor a warranty when the unit came through an authorized dealer. We're authorized for Zinsser. A third-party marketplace seller usually isn't.

03

Where the box came from

Gray-market stock, returns repackaged as new, and outright fakes move through marketplaces constantly. It all looks identical in the photo. It stops looking identical when it fails.

04

Who you call when it breaks

Ours is a phone number with a person behind it who has held this product. M–F, 6 AM – 5 PM Pacific. (866) 469-8556

We're not always the cheapest.

Sometimes you'll find it for less. Sometimes you'll find it for more. On a lot of brands the number is identical everywhere it's sold legitimately — the manufacturer sets a minimum advertised price and every authorized dealer holds it. When a price sits well under that, it's worth asking why before it's worth celebrating.

Shop Local · Support Independent

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.
