We have a small room with wood cladding on ceiling. It looks like a white eggshell finish. Can I overpaint with emulsion or should I use acrylic eggshell. Not really 100% sure what is on there now is half my prob!

Id say a good rub down, coat of acrylic undercoat then you top coat.
 
Thanks Z - if i decide upon acrylic eggshell as top coat - do I still need the acrylic undercoat (bearing in mind the existing covering could be solvent based or water based)
 
If its water based then no...straight on...solvent based i would rub down and acrylic first.

Ta. As i dont know whats on there now - I will acrylic undercoat to be safe. Then I can either eggshell or emulsion if i have understood you help correctly.
