I need some help here.
I've just moved into an old house & stripped off the aged wallpaper in the hall. I was hoping to paint directly onto the bare walls with a nice flat emulsion, however, now I've stripped the wallpaper it looks like the walls have been painted with some sort of horrible gloss paint (dark brown!!)
The walls, plaster and paint itself seem to be very sound (no sign of paint flaking otherwise I might have thought about scraping it off).
So.... I'm not sure how to go about painting over it. I guess it's too glossy to paint emulsion directly onto it, but what should I do to prepare the surface?
