Question

I have sanded a ceiling before painting and in some areas the plaster below in showing because of old paint. 

Can I must coat the whole ceiling before I paint or just the areas that are exposed

Thanks appreciate any replys

Mist coat plaster patches then one or two coats just over those patches to get it the same as the rest of it then go over it all

Andrew · Answer

Hi 
There’s  no need to mist coat the hole celling again 
Just touch up the area that is exposed 
The give it a final topcoat 
Then it will be grand 👍

Always better to miss coat the whole ceiling, this will create a better finish

Christopher · Answer

No, not the whole ceiling just where it shows  hope this helps

Grahame · Answer

Touch in the exposed areas with the paint straight from container then  leave to dry mix water with a bit of paint and again go overexposed parts, should blend in when dried saving doing all of the ceiling again

Sam · Answer

The exposed plaster requires a mist coat, followed by the first coat of emulsion and then final coat the whole ceiling. This will ensure it doesn't stand out.

Make sure all loose paint is removed and cleaned then mist coat areas where no paint is missing then two topcoats of paint will do.

Paul · Answer

The areas that are plaster you can apply PVA glue and water 50/50 mix then water down a coat of emulsion you should be able to paint these areas out

Justin · Answer

Simply mist coat the patches showing the raw plaster the recoat the patches you mist coated , then 2 full coats on the complete ceiling 👍🏼

Sonny · Answer

Rub down any loose paint spot coat any bare plaster with thinned down  paint, and 2 final topcoats  should be sufficient

Jan · Answer

Just areas where need it after drying you can do  final coat maybe 2 coats depending on colour quality
