Hi All,

It is time to paint my bathroom wall. Do I just prime
or do I both sand and prime?

The current paint it textured, so sanding would only affect
about 40%. And I have all the pealing spot sanded flat
already and waiting Spackle.

Many thanks,

If the existing paint is textured and only the peeling spots
have been sanded, then I don't see how the texture is going
to match unless it's all sanded.


The bads spots are the 4" paper tape about the top of the shower's
fiber glass wall. It won't really show.

If the differences in texture aren't a problem and the existing
paint is flat, sound, then no need for primer. Just apply two
coats of your new quality paint.


If it helps your analysis, the original paint is 20+ years old.

Oh ya, the paint cost me out the nose.

If it were me, I'd try the match the spot that you sanded and repaired
with a texture, use a tinted prime one time on the repaired spot - let
it dry, and then prime the entire wall to match before I put on a new
paint in the bathroom. I've done 2 bathrooms and repaired various walls
in both. That worked very well. You may not want to go that that much
trouble, though.



Prime the sanded spot (Spackle and all) one by itself, then prime
the entire wall.

I am, using dead white, so I never have to bug with tints.

Thank you!
