Many years ago we painter the coving in our lounge a dark green (Farrow &

SWMBO now wants it a light beige.

Any tips for blocking out the green before the beige. Is just a few coats
of white emulsion the only way?


Lining paper?

three coats of F & B emulsion will cover anything


3 coats of any decent emulsion will cover anything for far less.

The right paint will get that to 2 coats. At a pinch I've managed 1 coat, but not with emulsion.
