Hi,
Completely new to diy so please bear with me.
We have stripped the wallpaper of the stairway to find this what appears to be a thin layer of green paint on top of the plaster board.
It is flaking in places but also well adhered in others. We plan to wallpaper the stairway. Couple of questions -
1) could this be lead paint? If so, how’s best to deal with so I can paper over it?
2) if it’s just some kind of primer applied to the plasterboard, would I be ok to sand it down then paper over it?
Many thanks in advance!
