Hey guys, so this is my first DIY job. Over the weekend I stripped a single wall of paper, honestly I was a broken man by the end of it! Anyway, I want to paint the wall now, but some of it is exposed plaster, other is painted already. I have filled in the big holes and sanded down. Do I need to do anything to the exposed plaster before I put paint on it? P.S please ignore the mess.
Once the wall has been filled and sanded, some slightly watered down (20-40%) contract matt paint should serve as a good base
Thank you so much for your advice I-Man. One quick follow-up. Do I paint the whole wall with this base, or just the bare plaster bits?
I coat the entire wall. Normally I use acrylic primer undercoat. Snag up dings and imperfections after the primer and spot prime filler and only when I'm happy and wall looks good do I paint..
