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


Use paint pads. Thin the first coat 10% with water and the apply the
second coat as it comes from the tin.

It goes faster if there are at least two of you, one doing the edges to
start with and the other filling in. If the kids are old enough to
trust, get them to load the pads from the tray. BTDTGTTS.
