hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and very new to decorating so any help would be appreciated.
We've recently moved into a 60's house that needs gutting and I've started small...
I've removed the wallpaper from a small hallway, to reveal only one layer of paint underneath and then bare plaster.
My question is, how do I correctly not prep this wall to make a good paint job?
My common sense would say to sand the old paintwork down to make it smooth first and then pain over? Is this correct or should I completely remove the old paint first and then start again?
Thanks
