Remove in Q2 (drywall) - possible?

Hello everyone,

We will soon have our house with drywall on the inside, which will be puttied/sanded in Q2. I know that Q2 can look different sometimes and that some factors like perception, light incidence, etc. play a role, but can general statements be made on this topic regarding:

- Ceilings: I have increasingly read that one can paint directly (or twice), as there are fewer problems with grazing light, seams, etc. here.

- Walls: We would also like to paint directly. We are not so picky about walls, but we definitely want to avoid wallpapering (if then smooth non-woven wallpaper and then paint it). How is best to approach this? Are there certain paints or "better" substrates for this? What can ultimately look bad? Is it edges where you can basically see where a drywall panel ends or begins?

Does anyone have tips? There is also roller or brush plaster, but based on my research so far, it didn’t sound that great...

Best regards

I painted my basement made of drywall, previously I filled and sanded the joints myself.

There are spots that look really great, mostly where there are no joints, while others are terrible. If you're doing it for the first time, it will be difficult to get an acceptable result.

Better find a Pole or Romanian to do it for you, then you'll have peace, especially when there is a lamp on the wall.

Hi,

What did you do yourself? In my case, it is filled and sanded - Q2.

Are these edges where you can basically see where a drywall panel ends or... begins?

If it's done poorly, yes.

We painted directly on the drywall panels... beforehand we sanded the transitions a bit - but that already took half a week.
Still, you can see quite a few flaws in the grazing light.

Paint: definitely prime beforehand, then paint with regular wall paint.

Have you run out of money???

Gypsum board screwed to the wall and joints filled with this fleece fabric, then sanded until visually smooth, but you can still see it in the right light.

The result should resemble q2, if not be better, but still not suitable for a living space.

There are the special finish products as ready-made filler. That is great and becomes mega smooth. It is not suitable for coarse unevenness because it shrinks too much when drying.
