Hi
In the process of redecorating a new property we have removed wallpaper from one of the rooms and there is no plasterboard/ drywall. Instead t alpears to be a concrete wall. The wall is oerfectly smooth save for a few screw holes.
How do we prepare the wall to paint with emulsion?
Many thanks

If it's an older house, it won't have plasterboard, it probably dates back to a time when houses were built properly with plastered brick or blockwork.
Just flat it off, mist coat if needed, and paint it.0 -
It's a 1960s build. As i say the wall is perfectly smooth save for a few screw holes that need to be filled.
Is a mist coat the same as primer or can you just use a white emulsion as an undercoat?0 -
50/50 mix of emulsion and water.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
