Painting a room thats smoothed

Dec 03, 2010 3 Replies

A flat my daughter has moved in was a bit of a diy project by the previous person. One of the rooms has had a start with the skirting and door frames been stripped. The walls have been sanded smooth weirdly. I'm wondering when I come to paint it will it be paintable its its smooth .. if not how would I handle painting this room.



Thanks

If the walls have been taken back to the plaster .. I see no problem painting them. If they have been almost "marbelised" .. a light sanding before painting will help.

Emulsion & alkyd paints dont care if the surface is smooth or not
