Solid Concrete Ceiling in Garage - PVA advice

Hi,

Our (low) garage ceiling is unsightly, and I think is the cause of a lot of the dust and dirt running through our home.

I run my fingers over it and tiny particles come down each time. I have been advised to paint it with a PVA water mix. I am a total newbie so don't know where to begin!!

Can someone please recommend what 'type' of PVA to use? I note that some are paintable, some are waterproof etc.

Without skimming that ceiling it's always going to look 'nasty' right? But I think I'd be happy with just stopping the dust, and maybe then I might paint it white....

1) What PVA type?
2) We have some damp issues on the right hand wall. Would using a 'waterproof' PVA be a bad idea - sealing in any moisture that might also be in that ceiling?
3) What method? Brush and bucket vs roller etc? How quick will I need to work? I expect it is a very messy job!! Coats?
4) When all done and dry - what white paint to use to give a nice finish.

Many thanks all!
