Hi all,

The wallpaper in the bedroom was put on top of a painted wall. When we removed the wallpaper it pulled off some of the paint back to the plaster. We want to now just paint the wall. What is the best way to deal with this? Should I used a watered down paint again where the plaster is exposed? Also how do we stop the line between the originally painted bit and the now plaster exposed bit from being seen when we paint the wall?

Thanks in advance

Lee.

Use a thick, good quality lining paper that'll cover the imperfections.


Use fine wet and dry, with water to feather-edge the edges of the paint.

They might continue to flake after the water has dryed, so you could
try and remove the rest of the paint with a decent flat blade
scraper. I had to do the party wall where the stairs go up after
removing vinyl-silk painted woodchip..
