i have just had my hall walls and ceilings skimmed, how long do i have to wait to paint them, and what is the best thing to prep them with first
Zampy, I'm sure you must be my twin
How many coats of the Dulux Supermatt should you apply?
As I understand it, the first coat is the mist coat which you thin with water.
But should the second coat also be the Supermatt stuff, or normal vinyl matt emulsion coloured paint (perhaps thinned with water also for a better finish)?
Thanks Zampa.
Is that the process you'd follow:
supermatt mist coat > sand with 120/180 > vinyl matt 2nd coat > sand with 120/180 > vinyl matt 3rd coat (watering down the paint on each coat to get a better finish).
What I mean is, you've said I can do it this way, but I'd like to know the preferred way - what a pro would do.
Thanks fella.
