Hello all,
Yesterday I removed wallpaper which was on my living room wall, and it came off fairly easily though some paint did also come off during the process. I will be repainting the wall using an undercoat and then a dark colour.
What I want to know is, how do I prepare the wall? I've read online to plaster the wall make it smooth and flat and then paint.
There are no deep joints or cracks, just flakes of paint that has come off when the wall paper came off. I would like to do a good job with painting it.
If I used a ready mixed plaster, applied over the areas, smoothed over, sanded down, cleaned and then painted, would that be the correct process?
