Hi all,
Hope the title made sense!
Basically, I have boxed in a fireplace in the middle of the wall and have skimmed it.
See picture below:
I am painting the whole wall in F&B Charlotte's Locks - which is a kind of flame orange.
I've tested the paint on the exiting red (maybe Crown Period Colours - Scarlett Ribbon, I can't remember), and comes out how I would like it.
My question is, how should I prep the skimmed wall?
I was planning on 1 or 2 white mist coat.
Then maybe find a cheap red close to the existing red and do one coat of that.
Then 2 coats of the orange on all walls
???
I don't want to paint all walls white and orange on that as it may be brighter than I want.
Any other suggestions?
