Apr 9, 2018 at 16:55 comment added Grame Smith Given the current condition of the walls, would you recommend priming and then pain. Or am I expected to use paint removal and then prime and paint?
Apr 9, 2018 at 16:50 comment added Grame Smith I showed the garage to him before he started working, not sure why he would suggest just 3 layers of paint without using the primer (for someone who claims to be a professional).
Apr 9, 2018 at 16:35 comment added Harper - Reinstate Monica Going from black to white or vice versa you need strong pigments. Black uses the potent mineral pigment "carbon black" which by luck is nontoxic, unlike White lead. Safe white pigments are weak tea. Given the dark and stained surface I woulda used primer until nothing prints through, then topcoat til the primer doesn't print through (1-2 coats). 3 coats of white is a fair default assumption for a clean surface that is already near white, as most old work is. Had he seen the wall before bidding it?
Apr 9, 2018 at 16:09 comment added Grame Smith the drywall was reversed, as per the painter, so it looks like that as you can see in the pictures. He did not use a primer, said that 3 layers of the exterior grade paint should cover it up
