Hi All,
I’ve been stripping wall paper and some of it has some very flaky paint underneath. I used a razor blade scraper to remove all the bad stuff and then a bit more and basically left with half a wall of good paint and half stripped back to a grey smooth type plaster. I’m wondering what my best options are to achieve a satisfactory finish.
1. Sand it down and mist coat the whole lot and try to level out the difference between the painted and unpainted section with few coats of paint.
2. Mist coat and paint only the stripped section so both halves have a layer of paint on then fill the join between.
3. Easi-fill the stripped section and sand down but this is quite a large fill as it’s half the wall.
Thanks for any advice. I know I could skim plaster the whole room but thinking about what diy options I could use to get an ok finished. Will be using Matt paint at the end. Cheers
