| Jan 20, 2022 at 17:03 | comment | added | Tetsujin | "Wall paint" does not explain the texturing on the original surface. As you can see from the 2nd picture, regular emulsion just follows the contours of whatever's underneath. It does not add significant texture, unlike the newer 'gloss' [daubed onto the first pic] which is thicker & holds brush strokes more if not applied carefully. | |

| Jan 20, 2022 at 14:36 | comment | added | Samuel M | I had almost similar looking "patches" on my "cement" walls, the plugs were glued/caulked full and painted over. I first tried picking them, but soon found myself just drilling with 5-6mm drill bit over the 4,5mm plugs to remove them. And then just filled the holes I drilled with cement based coarse putty. A quick sanding, primer, paint and the walls were better than new. | |

| Jan 20, 2022 at 13:38 | comment | added | Ahmed Tawfik | It's normal white wall paint on main wall surfaces | |

| Jan 20, 2022 at 12:59 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Is that anaglypta or textured paint on the main wall surfaces? | |
