My garage conversion is nearly completed ( hoorahhh !!! ) and I'm getting ready to paint the freshly plastered walls. I've never actually painted fresh plaster only ever painted on previously primed and painted walls.
What is the best way to prepare the walls and what is the best way to prime them ?
Myself, I would give them a good clean with sugar soap then apply a watered down emulsion as the base layer then 2 coats of normal emulsion or would it be better to use a specific primer taking into account I have quite a large area ( approx 49 sqm of wall ).
