Hi
As a guess, the house I recently bought has been re plastered throughout within last couple years and covered in magnolia.
My young children have been 'having fun' in their room and managed to strip half a wall of paint just by using their fingers! The paint comes off almost like it was paper in large 'sheets' leaving what looks like brand new plaster.
I assume this should not be possible if it was painted properly?
I really dont want to have to strip the whole house of paint before repainting - do i have a choice? Also If I was to paint over it and also onto the exposed plaster there is a ridge (from plaster to depth of old paint) can i sand down the edge or do i have to accept the step?
Cheers
