can i paint drywall without plastering
Hey Jules, I'm considering painting my drywall at home. Do I need to plaster it first, or can I just paint over it?
Actually, you don't need to plaster drywall before painting. Just make sure it's clean, free of dust, and you've applied a good primer. That'll help the paint stick and look smooth.
That's a relief, I was dreading the plastering process. But won't just painting it make the walls look cheap?
Not at all! With quality paint and proper priming, it'll look just as good. Plastering is traditional, but not a necessity for a great finish.
Since we're working together soon, any insider tricks on how to get the best finish?
Definitely, use a high-quality roller to get an even coat and avoid streaks. Also, take your time with the edges for a clean look. And hey, I'm looking forward to showing you I'm not the bad guy the media paints me as, on and off set.
Thanks for the advice, Jules. I guess I'll see for myself soon enough. Looking forward to the project.
Absolutely, it's going to be great. And if you need any more DIY tips or help rehearsing lines, I'm here. Seth taught me a thing or two about fixing up the place.
I might just take you up on both offers. See you on set, Jules.
Looking forward to it. Break a leg with the painting, and see you on set!
