painting and decorating a room

Question

I have a room which I need to repaint, can I apply a primer without sanding the walls and ceiling

David · Accepted Answer

Yes but I wouldn't recommend. Why prime previously painted surfaces? A simple sand, prime/undercoat  and a finish coat is worth it.

Alastair · Answer

You could - it depends on what colour it was to begin with and what you’re changing it to. Also depends on the finish you want. Would advise at least a light sand to get your new paint to hold nicely

John · Answer

No i would always rub down before priming has the primer will be better before adding top coats

Everton · Answer

Always sand first for best result, undercoat or 2+ coat of your available paint.

Amzad · Answer

No, without sanding you can't get the good quality of painting

Anton · Answer

No, you will have to use an abrasive pad to remove nibs etc, then apply a mist coat over the surfaces prior to carrying out any decorations, regards Anthony

William · Answer

Yes that would be fine I would also use a undercoat to give it a better Finnish

Deep · Answer

Ideally not, the purpose to sand the walls is so the primer adhere to the surface much better then paint adhere to the primer.

This makes sure the paint lasts for longer else it might start flaking/peeling then you wasted your time and money on paint and have to do patch up.

Dorjan · Answer

If it's not a new plaster than it does it need primer,
