Hi, I need to paint my freshly plastered bathroom. Do I need to use bathroom paint for the mist coat or will a generic matt emulsion work ok?
Matt emulsion, as to consistency, depends on quailty of the paint, I usually go 70/30. But, how long has plaster been on wall.
About a fortnight at the moment - they did the plastering before the tiling and fitting. But I just need ordinary emulsion, I don't need to do the mist with thinned down bathroom paint?
Ordinary matt emulsion thinned down for a mist coat. If the plaster was a skim coat, then it should be dry, if the room was fully plastered then it will take a few more weeks to fully dry before you you can paint it with mist coat. A bit of light heat will help to speed thing up a bit.
Ordinary Matt emulsion, 50 paint/50 water. Then you can use bathroom paint once the first coat is dry
