Emulsion is fine on polymer coving and doesn't need any special sealants prior to painting.
I would suggest its worth painting as it will hide any joints better and blend into the ceiling better. Personally I run a line of decorators Caulk along the wall/cove ceiling/cove joins.
Bear in mind that the polymer coving is impervious so any emulsion will probably take twice as long to dry as the ceiling or walls.
Thats pretty much what I had planned to do but its nice to get confirmation as I wasn't 100% sure.
Would an oil based paint be OK to use as well? Its just I have used caulk to fill in the gaps and I have been reading caulk doesn't react to well to water based paints.
Can someone tell me if it is ok to paint a polymer coving with an oil based paint as I have used caulk to fill it and i read it is better to paint over caulk with oil based paint rather than water based paint.
