Painting newly laid lining paper

[willmington]

I am having some work done (by a pro) which involves having a section of lining paper removed for purpose to repair some blown plaster work.

Once the pro has re-lined the area, I wanted to repaint the room myself.

I am not sure if I will be able to get away with just applying one coat of paint but have a question please as regards painting the newly laid lining paper.

Can I mist this section (of newly laid lining paper) with the same colour as I am going to use for the room, if you see what I mean.

For clarity, I will be painting the room in the same colour with Dulux vinyl sheen and was thinking of using the matt version of the same colour paint to mist (cutting it by 30% or so).

Any info much appreciated

Cheers

If I have read this right your concern here is can you use a coloured matt to mist as opposed to a white, if I'm right then the answer is yes.

You don't need to mist it. If you use a trade emulsion it helps to thin it down a bit to aid flow but off the shelf just put a full coat straight on

You are correct, yes. Many thanks for the confirming that this is ok.

Many thanks.

Which one of those methods is more likely to be successful if I wanted to paint the room once ie will the newly laid lining paper which I will paint 'blend in', if you see what I mean.

I know that perhaps I should do two coats but trying to get away with one only if possible but don't want the room to look odd.

Apologies for asking silly question.

Cheers

Do it properly and give it two coats
