Hello @kofiwillreign18 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about repairing your wall paint.

I suggest using a 100mm Sharp Edge Paint Scraper in combination with a Ryobi 300W Random Orbital Sander ROS300-S to remove the flaking paint. Once all the paint has been removed use an Ozito 1250W 12L Stainless Wet And Dry Vacuum to suck up all the dust debris left on the wall and floor. I then recommend using a clean damp cloth on the surface of the wall to remove any residual dust. 

When the wall is totally clean, I recommend using Zinsser Peel Stop Binding Primer Clear. This water-based, low-odour formula penetrates cracks, binds peeling edges, and seals chalky residue to create a smooth, solid foundation. Ideal for both interior and exterior projects, it dries quickly and can be top coated in just 2 hours. You can use an ordinary paint roller to apply this primer. Once the primer cures you can use either Dulux Wash &Wear or Taubmans Easycoat for the topcoat. 

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How To Paint A Wall.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your reply. I was just wondering, do you think I should also add patching compound or topping compound after I apply the Zinsser Peel Stop Binding Primer Clear. And then apply normal paint after? 

Thanks :).

Hi @kofiwillreign18,

There's no real need to apply plaster unless there are holes and imperfections you are looking to smooth over.

If there are, you should apply the plaster compound before the primer.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
