New plaster - what paint should i use for a first coat?

(1/2) > >>

vtrdaz:
I'm about to repaint the kitchen , which was skimmed over about 3 months ago , so it's now nice and dry.

What would be a good first coat to use - i was thinking about watering down some trade emulsion , would that be a good/bad thing to use?

Cheers

Llanigraham:
Thin coat of Trade non silk emulsion first, leave it for a couple of days and then what ever she wants.

burgerman:
 From memory we Unibonded our plaster to seal it, then a weak emulsion them a couple of coats of finish paint, took a while but worth it, but we did have a complete house to do  :lol:

eugene:
just use a hite emulsion and leave a couple of days as stated above

leo:
unless the plaster has got greasy from the kitchen or has water marks which can stain through and yellow your paint,  i wouldnt bother with the pva .if you do use it, just add a drop into a diluted mix of white emulsion .
when working on new built houses they get one mist coat of thinned white emulsion throughout then two good coats on top.
