Project Scenario
Susan is a busy professional with a busy home office. She wants "Eggshell" to repaint offices and hallways at Big Deal, Inc. How does she prepare the space for painting and what product suits this best?
Preparation
- Patch holes as required and spot prime bare substrates
- If the current paint on the wall is a shinier / glossier finish, scuff sand with 120 grit sandpaper to create "tooth" for the paint and/or primer to "bite into".
Primer Coat
(for bare gypsum wall board, to cover spackle filler, or where colour changing dramatically)
Best: 05250 Premium Classic Hi-hide Latex Drywall Sealer
Top Coat
Best: 7069X, Ecologic Ultra Low VOC 100% Acrylic Latex, "Eggshell" finish
Better: 4305X, Super2 100% Acrylic Latex, "Eggshell" finish
Good: 0324X, Premium Classic Acrylic Latex, "Eggshell" finish
