Can I just check I have the right approach to painting a new ceiling and
skimmed walls. The ceiling is skim over plasterboard, the walls are skim
over original old plaster and in some areas skim over patches of bonding.
I have bought Dulux trade supermatt white (not vinyl matt)
I plan to give a mist coat (diluted about 30-40%)
Rub down and any filling that is needed
Then a second coat (diluted about 15-20%)
Light sand
Then a third coat (diluted about 15-20%)
Job done (hopefully)
Does this seem the best approach. A daft question this, but what grade of
sandpaper is best to use on the mist coat and in between other coats.
Cheers
