Stripping Advice

[ljkc]

Hi, I'm stripping some wallpaper, underneath that there was lining paper so I removed that too. I then discovered a layer of blue paint. I decided to leave that on but some of it around holes was lifting and I couldn't resist seeing how easy it came off. The picture below is what I'm left with. I'm just wondering if I am making more work for myself?

How should I proceed? Remove all the paint? or fill it in? If filling in is the right thing to do can you recommend a product?

Thanks

remove any other loose paint, I suggest Feather the edges of the paint with filler then rub down, and paint walls White with a contract Emulsion to "blind" and seal the blue colour , you may need two coats, this will show up other imperfections that can also be filled.
Size the walls afterwards if you are going to hang wallpaper.

Thank you very much for the advice. I do have a question though....

"Size the wall" - what exactly does this mean?

Paint the wall with a weak solution of wallpaper adhesive and let dry,
it helps to position the wallpaper when hanging it.
