Ask your QuestionI 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
"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"

Answered on 26th Jan 2022 - Member since Jan 2022 - report"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."
