Please see below for pics of the horrible blue wall in my bathroom. The white patches are Polyfilla which I have sanded down. The blue paint has also been sanded down severely. The pink and brown patches are where the sanding went trough the top layers of paint and ended up exposing another layer of horrible pink paint below the blue one and in some places I got trough to bare plaster.
I intend to paint my bathroom with Dulux trade Diamond Matt (pure brilliant white).
Question is as follows:
Would you have primed this wall?
Seeing as I have sanded it for several hours any potential flakiness and fungus is definitely removed, so what remains is the possibility of a chemical reaction. I have no way of knowing what the current blue paint is, but it looks a bit shiny (silky?) and was damn tough to sand down.
My initial plan was adding a first layer of heavily diluted Diamond Matt, then see what happens. If OK I will do to more coatings. Sounds OK?
Disclaimer. I have NO idea why these pictures are upside down. I uploaded them the right way. Have given up trying to fix it....
