Hi
This time last year my son skim plastered our sitting room ceiling, which is 35m2
to hide the Artex.
In the past I've always used Dulux Vinyl Silk for walls & ceilings.
So to get a really good finish I gave it 4 coats, which was a bit of a job because it's so big.
A year on and the room is still not finished, but we hope to have it ready for Autumn.
BUT I've come to dislike the silk finish - a lot.
So a few weeks ago I phoned the Dulux technical department to ask if I can paint
over the silk with matt.
The guy said you can, but you'd have to rub it down first.
It's so big I really do not want to do that.
MY QUESTION
I know the Dulux guy had to give me that answer, but in your experience do you
think I'd get away with it - will it stick - or will it peel away?
Many thanks in advance.
Stephen
