Painting over old latex paint with latex paint

Otherwise, degrease and do a test in a corner to see how it works without sanding. Just roll the paint on. If it covers and adheres, then continue.

Why do you question the expert's expertise?

Let him do it.

The trained painter is nice and young.

I have known the specialist dealer for decades and he says, just paint over it with latex paint, maybe twice, so that it looks better.

aha and being old beats youth^^ great view

Primer costs nothing and is quick to do. If it is missing and would have been necessary, the annoyance is great. I think priming can simply be sensible here to rule out that the substrate is crumbly. An old paint job 55 years old is quite a statement.

Whether a second coat is necessary can be decided after the first one.

Well, I was young once myself, experience is hardly replaceable.

In the meantime, the ceiling coating diagnosed by the painter as latex paint turned out to be glue paint. The latex paint did not pass the smear test with a wet sponge :rolleyes:

Now 70 sqm of glue paint have to be scraped off the ceiling :(
Even the giraffe sander is too arduous for the painter, so the ceiling was moistened and scraped off with a putty knife :mad:
If anyone knows a more convenient solution, please speak up now...

Fine multitool with the spatula scraper attachment would be worth a try.
