View Full Version : Painting over drywall

08-01-01, 12:09 PM
Am re-modeling a small bathroom and after removed wallpaper and wallpaper glue, I found plaster with paint on half the bathroom and then around the tub/shower and toilet, I found drywall (it's brown and cardboardlike in texture). I don't know what's behind it, I think plaster, but I wanted to pain the entire bathroom and am unsure as how to paint over drywall that's this texture. Spoke to a contractor and he said to buy drywall compound (?) and put that on first, sand and then prime... is this correct? How much time and money is this goint to take? Should I hire someone to do it? The size of this wall is small.

Instead of Painting have you ever heard of Design R Wall? It's perfect for covering less than perfect walls. It's easier than painting and more beautiful. All you would have to do is prime your walls with B.I.N. primer, mix the Design R Wall with water, apply and let dry. Do yourself a favor and come visit us at: http://www.designrwall.com or call toll free at: 1-866-654-7771.

Thank You
