Best way to make good damaged paintwork

[5oysterman2]

Morning guys, i have taken some paint off when removing frogtape.

Which is the best way of repairing the damage, use fine filler or build up layers of paint? Many thanks

Remove any flaking parts so you have a sound edge (can use a blade to gently cut around it). Fine surface filler slightly proud and wider than the damage. Gently sand it flat with something like 220 grit. Prime with watered down grey paint. Once dry you can apply your top coat, feathering it out beyond the damage to avoid any obvious abrupt line. Then try not to look it at when the sun shines on it

Cheers daggermark especially the last sentence

I would largely agree with @daggermark but would not recommend any filler.

I would use the emulsion, "full fat" and push it in to bits of paint that are still loose. I would then apply another coat when dry.

Once that coat has cured I would use 180-220 grit silicone carbide paper to lightly sand the parameter flat. The new paint should "lock" the loose edge on the previous paint, Allowing you feather the edge.

Your walls have a textured finish. If you use filler, you will have a odd smooth section.

I am guessing that you only applied two coats of the new colour last time around. The paint build up is pretty minimal.
