Hi,
Having recently bought and moved into a Victorian terrace I've been feeling pretty pleased with myself for not having any DIY disasters in the first few months.... but hey it couldn't last.
I was just doing a bit of painting. The living room ceiling, which has bobbly artex type stuff was painted.. standard Dulux Vinyl Matt Emulsion - White...no problems. I then proceeded to do the back room, which has the same bobbly artex type stuff. The paint dried and immediately started to crack badly and peel in areas where I may have "overapplied" (in hindsight) paint. I brushed some of it down, and took the following pictures (apologies for the low quality digicam).
I'd appreciate opinions on what has happened, and what I can do to rectify the situation... I can't just paint over the top.
Oh and I don't particularly like the artex type stuff, but I'm not sure if it will come off easily.
Thanks in advance...
Warren
