Newbie - removing paing from concrete wall
Hi there,
I went to start painting my kitchen, but noticed a bit of the old pain was peeling off and underneath the concrete wall was revealed. I thought I better get this off and before you know it 80% of the paint has been removed to down to the wall with just using a scraper. However the remaining 20% seems very hard to get off with a scraper and sanding it just seems impossible. Therefore, 1) What should I use go get the remaining paint (patchy) of the walls. I want to make it as easy as possible and doing so will give me a nice even concrete surface to start on. 2) What should I use to undercoat the wall before I paint it so that my once pain goes on without a hitch (I imagine not good to paint right on to concrete)? I used Dulux plaster sealer on the ceiling and then a coat of One coat and it worked very well). Thanks in advance. Dave |
