How to repaint concrete interior walls

[brittanydaisy]

 Hello everyone!

 

  

Just bought a 1 bedroom unit which has concrete and some plaster walls. Plaster is for the plumbing voids. 
Am wanting to DIY repaint it, but am just wondering the steps/ products required for a repaint of concrete walls and can the same paint be used for both wall types? 

thank you!

Hi @brittanydaisy 

Congrates on your new place.

Yes the modern paints acrylics water based (Any brands are good these days) are suitable for both plaster and concrete walls as long as they cleaned of loose dust and oils  etc  ie kitchen fats Use a bit of sugar soap to wash them at need,

No under coat required I recommend a Roller  on a pole handle for faster work and a 25mm paint brush for the corners of areas etc a roller can't reach into the edges.
