We recently had our lounge reskimmed and then painted it with a mist coat of watered down white emulsion. After meticulously going over all the little imperfections left we did two coats of a light cream colour and then set about painting a feature wall with a deep red.
Realising we needed the best possible join of the cream and red in an internal corner we went to our local Brewers to ask them to recommend how to do it. They recommended Tesa Precision Masking Tape. We had doubts about the tape as we thought it might damage the paint underneath when removed but we were assured this tape would allow us to do what we wanted.
However, after using it disaster struck We painted and then came to remove the tape and got half way down the wall, after which it started to pull off large patches of paint right down to the plaster!!!
Attempts to re-mistcoat and relayer emulsion on top of the damage has just left little patches.
Any suggestions on what could be done? It's been a complete blow and has basically completely ruined a whole room.
