Should I paint straight onto plaster or use lining paper?
Your ok just after you remove lining paper get some 120 grit sand paper and knock down the roughness on the plaster. Now since you have plaster there has got to be some cracks iam going to tell you how to fix that now iam going by my version of historical homes in Mobile, Alabama, New Orleans La, Chareston South Carolina that i have worked on. Get some 45 year old daps caulking and a caulk gun and fill and wipe these areas smooth wait one day than do the same where caulking has sunk. Than buy the best if you can interior – exterior undercoater from Sherwin Williams are some place else now Sherwin Williams does own nearly all paints even Wal-Mart paint but they never changed the label, but this undercoater iam telling you about cost around $27.00 a gallon room size 10×10 8ft walls raw plaster one coat # 1 gallon. By the way thats all you have to put is one coat if you wish theres a product named kitz at Wal-Mart that runs $10.00 just cut in and roll and yes to your question on the prime
