Lil Help
Posted about this earlier. HO took down a border and didnt clean the walls that well. She put a coat of mud where the border was and then sanded. Put 2coats of a flat paint. Yep went and took a look and there are a couple spots where the glue bleed thru. Don't deal with the whole wall paper that much. What would be the best way to take care of the dark spots and stop the bleeding? Any help would be great.
Thanks, |

Re: Lil Help
I DON'T do interior's, but logic tells me that a primer/sealer coat, then top coat is your only option, aside from tearing the wall out!

Re: Lil Help
Yea i was kind of hoping i could Spot Prime/seal and then just blend or top coat it. I just figured i would see how everyone else would go about doing it. Since i really dont deal with the whole wallpaper side.

I would prime the whole thing, since that didn't happen yet. This is very common and it is crucial to prime after removing any type of wallcovering for this very reason. After priming, then apply paint. SW preprite problock or Zinsser 123 might work best. This should solve your problem, good luck |

Re: Lil Help
Thanks for all the feed back. I was hoping i could get by with Spot priming and then just blending in. But you guys are saying the best way is to prime everything and repain? Guess the Ho will be spending a lil more then planned. Maybe they should of called before making a mess.
Thanks for the feed back. |

You might get away with spot priming, but why take the chance. Do it right this time and you wont have to worry about that other little spot coming through in a week or 2. If you want to go hardcore, grab a quick drying oil primer/sealer...that'll teach it! |

Re: Lil Help
I suppose you could spot-n-blend being that it is a flat finish, but it will be noticeable to the HO, and she sounds like she wants the job done right.Good luck!She sounds like a good client, being that she obviously knows that painting is'nt as easy as it seems!

Re: Lil Help
Im sure she might notice but i was hoping i could get by with it, since the house is like 40yrs old and the walls look like **** all thru out the house. Hell the only way to make the room look good would be tearing down all the walls and starting from scratch. The walls have cracks,nail pops, bulges and everything you can imagine. So i thought if i could get by with spot priming and blending it would be nice.
Thanks, |

Re: Lil Help
A lot depends on what paint and what color she used. Some paints can be touched up and even the best painters won't find it. LOL, I've done it.
Be aware that if you touch up with flat, wait until the next day to see if it worked. Dover white pro mar 200 can be touched up as I described, but at times, you have to wait til the next day for it to disappear. |

Re: Lil Help
She used a mexican sand color which is a tan color and it was promar 400 flat, so atleast she was trying to use good paint. We will be heading out there today to try and touch it up and then will follow up 2morrow and see how it looks. I will be letting the Ho know what im doing in the contract, So she doesn't complain about it in a week or 2.
Thanks for all the feed back. |
