Hi,
We have just had our ceiling redone, where they did a suspended ceiling to hide old popcorn texture so we know have the gyprock and skim plaster.
We want to paint it but are new to all of this!
A few questions, how long do we have to wait for the plaster to dry before painting.
What layers do we need to use with painting (seal, prime, paint the colour we want x2 ?)
We aren't too worried about getting it done in a rush but are worried about the bathroom being unsealed/primed as we are using the bathroom and showering in it.
We also have some gaps where there is some wood that used to be part of an old pelmet. Is there a putty/plaster/sealer that would be good to use to make it all a bit cleaner? Gaps are less than 1cm. See image below
Lastly, we've had some debate in the family about painting with a roller vs using a paint sprayer. Any thoughts?
It's a small unit, we are focusing on the ceiling at the moment but do want to patch up the walls and repaint them but they're a bit textured (I'm assuming plaster over double brick so it's got lots of little small bumps).
Any help will be hugely appreciated!
(The image is a bit orange because of my lamp, I promise it's your normal gyprock colour in daylight!)
Hello @javajive
I suggest using an All Set Microfibre Cleaning Cloth to pick up any residual dust that is left on the wall.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
