Hello,
I am planning to paint 3 basement rooms in our new building over the weekend as a DIY project.
The walls are made of concrete (WU concrete) and lime plaster. Ceilings are reinforced concrete, already plastered.
I plan to proceed as follows:
- Sand the concrete walls
- Brush the walls with a broom to remove dust
- Lay out room fleece on the floor
- Tape off light switches, exposed electrical cables, windows, etc., or cover them with foil and tape at the edges
- Then start painting the ceilings, first the corners with a brush, then the surface, always in squares and crossing each square
- Then paint the walls, away from the light
- Overpaint lime plaster walls without sanding
- Probably do a second coat.
Am I doing this correctly or is this going to be a total botch?
