You can, but if you have a damp bathroom you will wish you did not. I don't have a problem in my bath, but it is large and well ventilated so dampness is not a problem.
I've never had a problem in my house. If you live in a very humid area or have otherwise poor ventilation your results may differ.
You could purchase the mildew additive separately. Add it to the standard ceiling paint and go for it...
TP is right - you can buy the mildicide separately. You may have to go to a paint store [MAB, Sherwin-Williams] - I don't know if the generic "home centers" carry it.
As others have mentioned, if your bathroom gets humid you'll want a paint with some gloss to it.
i think the mildew additive is my best option
thanx
