Sorry for opening another thread regards to new plaster. I have searched and got varied responses.
We have got all the upstairs bedrooms to paint, all new plaster dried out.
The plan is to use 50/50 matt emulsion. Non vinyl. Thats what most people reccomend after searching. I bought some valspar trade matt but i have looked on the instructions and it says not to thin it. Is this just so you buy their other product for mist coating? I cant see anything about vinyl on it.
Now the other question is i dont really know what to use for my 2nd and final coat, other than i want it white with a bit of a silk finish. But not too much. So not sure on brands and such.
Looking at something like a silk or a dulux soft sheen. Would this be ok to shoot straight on top of the mist?
Prefer something i can grab from bnq or screwfix on way home tomorro, if not no big deal.
Roller type i plan to use is a short pile. Hopefully this will give a nice flat finish.
