How To Cover Old Alkyd With Latex Paint
How To Cover Old Alkyd With Latex Paint
Depending on the age of your home, more than one amateur of limited dexterity (possibly you) has attempted to be the CanadArm with a paintbrush. A good way to identify the calibre of the job is to check for the following foreign objects caught in the paint:
Hair, dust and food stains; the painter was dreaming of a better life in a developing country, or drunk, or painting with his paint brush strapped to his leg out of pure boredom. You will need to scrape and/or sand in order to achieve a smooth finish.
Mildew, mould, dead insects, cigarette butts, candle wax (I’m not exaggerating); this is the kind of job that requires sanding, scraping and dental tools to pick the crud out of cracks. It’s way more effort than you were born for. But if you want to do it right, you’ll never rest until the surface looks like it underwent dermabrasion.
Sawdust and blops of drywall mud; these are typical in jobs where an underwhelming paint contractor slapped on a couple of coats and called it good. The finish may appear lumpy, but if you’ve got reasonable denial skills, you can paint over it and call it good just like the guy before you.
