New plaster - how long before painting?

Just brush on the diluted coat. The idea is for it to soak in, so as long as its watered down you won't be left with brush strokes.
For your top coats, get a decent brush, a 3-4" Harris will do for cutting in. Then just use a medium pile roller for emulsion. Personally, I quite like the ones from Wickes that fit their yellow telescopic pole.
We've done the entire house using these and the walls are as smooth as smooth can be. Throw them out after a single use though. No point in wrapping them up to use the next day as you'll end up with bits in it
ahem... wash them and use them next time? :money:0
