I'm learning very fast in the art of decorating after buying a 1970's house.
I've stripped the wall paper off a back bedroom, all gone now. The walls had previously been painted and there is lots of lovely bright green paint, but some did come off with the paper.

I'm planning on painting the room and would like perfect walls, so do not want the shapes of old paint showing through. The plaster underneath is very good.

What do I do?

Is there a thick primer/ undercoat
Is there paint stripper that wont damage the plaster
Another method?

Many thanks
Nigel

You could use lining paper and then paint that.
You need to do all your filling and sanding (polyfiller) before papering.

You'll get a good finish, warm to the touch.

Do it right and the joins will be hardly visible.
