Ooops - sanded lined painted walls

Aug 28, 2005 1 Replies

I had perfect lined and painted interior walls.. until I decided to remove a few marks by sanding over them then painting. On stepping back to inspect I saw that you can obviously see the sanded areas - they look like big patches of scratches to the lining, which they are! Any ideas on a quick fix?



Thanks BP

Re-do the sanding with progressively finer sandpaper. Remember to take out all the scratches produced by the previous sanding at each stage, or you will get "Highly polished deeply scratched" as I learned as an apprentice years ago.
