Its revealed nice fresh plaster coverings on all walls that have prob only been done within the year, we moved in July and the previous bloke only had it a year. Wanting to paint but unsure whats best to do: The plaster has only had a slight whitewash in places, other parts are not coated. Therefore do i need to precoat it first with a water/paint solution before emulsioning, or It it better to put up lining paper then paint that? Thoughts :look: [/quote] Just finished this on a fully refurbed house. Depends how much time you want to put into this.. Fresh plaster - pva/water mix or whitewash - this is you choice arguments for both Sand - 120 go over the plaster take the lumps bumps nodules out of it any holes fill then sand back to flat Paint- first coat about 10% water Sand- 180 grit barely have to touch it more rubbing your hand over the wall whilst holding it usually doesn't even take weight of your hand. Paint - now apply your last coat. Once your roller goes of Make sure it doesn't come back off the wall, vertical movements, do a whole wall then start on the next wall once you finish that one go back to the start of your first wall (the idea being give the paint a few mins to tack off a little bit) don't load any extra paint on your roller and run the roller over the wall again vertical strokes to roll out any lines left from paint application. Unless your wall needs another coat your done. If it needs another coat or you just want to give it one sand again with 180 and start the paint applying process again. Use quality rollers and if possibly a roller pole that way you can go bottom of wall to top in one smooth fluid motion. Using this technique from start to finish gives a fantastic finish even in silk! B&Q sell Leyland white or cream in their trade catalogue for 16 excl VAT paint like this is great I've used loads of the stuff! Hope that helps bud [/quote] Should have said after the first coat you will be able to see anywhere that is high or low so needs sanding or filling. Do this then touch them back in with a whitewash then the 10% diluted coat 180 over the top then will be fine to go with final coat. This sounds like a lot of work but with good plaster sanding and filling is an hour. Be ready for final coat within half a day. Awful plaster is a day's work. Most of that time is waiting for paint and filler to dry. Be sure to wipe the walls down between coats with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep a Hoover the hand to pick the dust up [/quote]
