Method

Changing your feature wall is simple and effects paints can be painted over easily.

Dulux UltraSmooth Prepcoat helps you change a textured finish back to a smooth finish. It’s a premium, water-based sealer and undercoat with excellent opacity, sealing, filling and flow properties that has been specifically designed for use over textured products.

In this guide, we’re looking at painting over a wall that has previously been coated with an effects paint so you can refresh the look.

In preparation, mask the area and wash the walls with a Selleys Sugar Soap solution.

This video will show you how to lightly sand the wall surface to remove the majority of the effect, begin painting with a technique called ‘cutting in’, complete your prep coats and then apply two coats of your chosen paint, and how to clean up.
