hairyasswelder:
Is it possible to get a reasonable finish by slimming over textured paint?
How hard is it for a beginner? as I cant afford to pay silly money they seem to ask

hi steve if the textured paint is sound ie not peeling, bubbling and i asume you mean interier work then yes you can over scim, it will need 2 coats of diluted pva first. to be honest with you if you aint done it before get a tradesman to do it as it is an aquired skill. if you lived a bit closer i would have done it for you..good luck

Boggert:
Get a professional in...

I put most on the floor when I did it my self.

The Smiths:
I disagree :evil:  Have a go yourself but buy a sander :lol:

Really I first skimmed over artex when I was 13.

But you will need the sander if you want to just emulsion the wall :)

Do your best in smoothing it but remember that you WILL have to sand it before decorating :wink:

Yoshi:
Or go to local diy store and buy the special wall smoothing stuff thats advertised on the telly which is specifically for smoothing over that kinda stuff :D
