My mate who has been a decorator all of his life gave me this advice once (and I have always used this method since with zero issues):
"If it hasn't been painted you need to put a mist coat on it (which is a watered down coat). It needs to be like coloured water (It will go everywhere!!!)
Ideally it needs to be a paint with out plastic in it, so a Dulux super Matt.
For the final coats you need somethin with plastic in it, like a vinyl Matt. I personally only use Dulux. "
Painting freshly plastered bathrooms. Whatโs the defacto guidance - emulsion mist coast and then dulux eggshell? Looking at @Airhead for his master guidance ๐๐
