The room I've just painted was originally half yellow, half red, with Dado rail round middle - I think original paint was eggshell or silk emulsion.
Have removed dado and filled then covered wall in 2 coats plain white matt emulsion, followed by 2 coats of desired colour. Have been left with very nice (but very unwanted) crackle effect where directly over paint but plain matt where over filled area.
Don't want to have to strip and think it will just do same crackle with another coat.
I can live with room just done but very nervous about painting rest of house which looks to have been painted with same base paint
HELP!!!
