Tried to repair wall but the paint colour is not matching the rest of the wall where the repairs are
Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.40 PM
Hello... I am hoping someone can help me. There were two patches of paint in one of my rooms where the paint was flaking away from the plaster. I picked off all of the loose paint and then sanded it down. Once it had been smoothed off I re applied the paint to that section of the wall but now the paint has dried I can clearly see the two round patches where I flaked the paint off. I am assuming this was because I didn't prime/use filler over that patches on the plaster? If I keep adding layers of paint would the colour eventually match the rest of the wall and if not what should I do to rectify it? Thanks
