Hello. I am having problems. I have been decorating my spare room and changing the colour from a blue/grey back to white.
I decided to use cheap white paint to cover up the grey as this colour is around the house elsewhere and you can still see it through the painted walls (grey was done by previous owner) so my theory was to have all the walls looking 100% white and then stick the good dulux paint on
I used most of the cheap paint and had complete coverage and no grey coming through and then the First coat of dulux went on fine and looked great however I wanted 2 or 3 coats on the walls. After applying the second coat the wall was covered in bubbles. I didn’t notice at first as I painted the 2nd coat and did other stuff. When I inspected the bubbles I noticed that the whole painted area could be peeled off. Literally can peel the first and second coat of dulux off the wall. I can only assume the dulux isn’t applying itself to the cheap base coat which was completely dry. My plan is to get an orbital sander and just sand the whole wall. Will this be suffice enough to apply the dulux paint?. I’m assuming sanding it down will remove most of the previous paint as well giving me a clean surface to paint on?. The whole point was to avoid spending time removing grey paint by sanding and creating a mess with dust.
