Hi all!
I am looking at fixing the walls that have a few nicks and re-painting all of them. All walls are painted with vinyl silk and we want to replace it with a matt finish.
I am planning to sand them, fix the odd spots with easyfill and then paint.
Now... How much sanding do I actually have to do? Is it just to scratch the surface of the existing silk paint or do I have to do some serious sanding? How do I know if I have done enough sanding? I am using 80 grit sand paper. Is it coarse enough?
