I have painted my walls with 3 coats 'Johnstones' matt wall and ceiling paint.I actually painted over the wallpaper that was there because I just recently came out of hospital and wanted to get it out of the way asap. After a while, once it dried, it has gone all streaky and patchy. When I first painted it, it looked really good but after a week or two the marks showed up. Probably the chemicals in the paper or the paste, I don't know.
Having read some of the posts on 'diynot', I can tell that some of the people who visit here are pro' painters and decorators. I really need some advice on how I can paint my walls without stripping off all that paper and going back to square one. I put already 3 cans at £15 each(1 can per coat). I need a quick fix as for one thing I'm not too well and secondly, owing to so much time in hospital, my cash flow is a bit tight.
Surely the 3 coats I already applied must count for something. Is their something I can apply that will seal the walls preventing this, whatever it is, from bleeding through any more so I can put a finishing coat of matt.
I will keep an eye out to see if anyone has been kind enough to give me some advice .
Thanks in anticipation, django47(micky).
