Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice on painting my new house. A problem has arose in one room all the walls had wall paper with paint on top. I had to scrape the paint off them remove any excess paper. Once complete the underlying walls all had a thin coat of bright orange paint... I have painted directly from the tin with magnolia Matt emulsion by Dulux but now all the walls have loads of tiny cracks...any idea why this has happened?
Also I have a problem with the ceiling now too...it had a yellow tinge to it already possibly due to smokers in the house previously. It had a thin coat of white applied as well. I also painted direct from tin with Dulux white matt emulsion and now its got bubbles and peeling off! My father in law applied some damp sealer to some of the peeling areas with a brush and seems better but is that the right thing to do?
I hope someone can shed some light on my problems painting this house has become a nightmare!
thanks in advance
