Dear Everyone,
I am at my wits' end. I'm an American living in Athens, Greece and I'm trying to paint my girlfriend's apartment as quickly as possible so I can move back to the States and get married. All the materials I'm using are Greek in origin, and I can't really communicate with the Greeks about what I need, or even be sure about what I need. I have never painted interior walls in a reinforced concrete structure, and I'm terrified of making of mistake and having my girlfriend scream at me when the paint starts blistering and peeling (she's really good at screaming).
I started this project a while back and things have gone from bad to worse. Specifically, how do I prep walls for latex that have been painted in a stuff called "watercolor" and ceilings painted in "glue"? I'm sure the terms don't translate properly, but I'll do my best to describe what's going on. I'll do my best to make it entertaining, and I could sure use some real advice.
Thank you.
