Why would you strip the paint off rather than just painting over it?


Cause it's covered in paper underneath, dummy. Can't you read?

You don't need to sand it unless it is highly polished.
Just give it a week from new and paint it with a couple of coats of
trade emulsion. That stuff comes in white or magnolia. You can add a
small pot of trial acrylic sample to change it if you like.

After a few months, paint it any colour you like. The cheap trade
emulsion allows the plaster to breathe whilse it dries fully.
