    Hi! Do I need to wash the dried wallpaper glue residue off the walls before painting? Can I just sand and smooth the walls, then paint over it? Do I need to prime the entire walls or only areas that was mentioned in the video? Thanks!

    • @lowes
      @lowes  7 лет назад +13

      Your goal is to get the walls as smooth, clean and dry as possible before painting. Removing the wallpaper residue, patching, sanding and priming where necessary will make a BIG difference in the final result.

    0:51 lead paint test kit? What is that and what's exactly for? I'm about to scrape off paint in a room and I suspect there's old paint with lead. Any tips or information are GREATLY appreciated.

    • @lowes
      @lowes  6 лет назад +1

      In your case the test kit would tell you if the paint you plan to scrape off contains lead. If it does lead safety procedures need to be used; you may want to consult a pro. Here's a test kit take a look at: low.es/2wvILg5. Thanks for watching.

    im redoing my bathroom walls as the wallpaper scheme is hideous and beginning to curl off. whoever put it there did not prep the walls right and it just peels off parts of the wall. i have to do all of the painting without removing the sink (a solid boxed sink with wallpaper behind it) and without removing the toilet. this is wayy too big of a project for a 21 year old with no experience and doing it alone. any extra tips are extremely helpful and this video was well done thank you

    • @mover8012

    • @lowes

      It's always a good idea to prime your wall before painting. It will allow the new paint to better adhere, and it also results in a nicer finish.

    • @lowes
      @lowes  7 лет назад +2

      If the spot has rough edges or flaking lightly sand to get all the loose material off first. Be sure to feather out the edges of the repair to blend it into the existing paint. Thanks for watching.

      Are you saying the paint you put on looks too shiny? Do you know what sheen the paint is currently? Semi-gloss? You may only need to repaint with a flatter sheen, if that's the case.

    Guys! So I am painting a NEW drywall that has never before been painted with a color- literally bare with no paint. Do I need to use paint primer? I heard from a couple of people that it is useless and I'm thinking they are right. Professional painters! What is your input on this?
    I have a few VERY tiny holes to spackle up but that is about all. Also, the walls have stains here and there and oil from fingers but I will just use a solution or lukewarm water with liquid soap detergent to get rid of it!

BTW, there's special little sponge brushes that are great for painting next to the tape, then go from there with the rollers. Yep, prep is a pain, but essential for a finished look...
