"White" undercoat with "Brilliant White"

[noclue123]

Hi,

Is there going to be problem if I paint Dulex Trade "Brilliant White" Matt Vinyl on top of a layer of Dulex Trade "White" undercoat?

I tried getting the "Brilliant White" undercoat but there was none in stock.. so ended up with "White", I was told it would not be a problem, but thought I better check with experts rather than sales!

cheers

There probably isnt going to be much in it between the two undercoats..just give the surfaces a light sanding fisrt

But why are you putting emulsion over undercoat?

I've got a few patches on the plasterwork that keeps showing through the emulsion - so using undercoat to block.

Ah right...

The undercoat will probably have a different finish to the vinyl matt as which you may notice as well.. it will depend on the room the room as to how much this will be noticed.

I'll be painting emulsion over the undercoat anyway - which caused no problems previously. Difference is this time Brilliant White over White rather than exact same shades.

Put 2 coats of the emulsion on and you will be ok..
