Hi,

Has anyone got any tips for painting (new) textured wallpaper with
emulsion.

I have tried using a long pile roller however it is extremely hard work
to get the paint into all of the nooks and crannies plus I seem to be
using an awful lot of paint.

Should I water the paint down and go for a couple of coats?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Matt

The only suggestion I've got is to roll on the paint from lots of
different angles to get into all the nooks and crannies. It sounds like
you are using a one-coat. It's best to have 2 coats in my opinion.
Whether watering down is suitable or not depends on the paint.
You can have thick paint without much pigment in it, or quite thin and
lots of pigment.
Some of thick jelly-like non-drip paints can be hard work to roll.
Hope some of that helps,
Simon.
