Ah bum !

[Pocster]

I was so careful had to remove some beading but took the paint off ?

This was sprayed on . So what’s the best way to ‘fix’ this - so it looks perfect again. ?

Worried if I brush or roller first will look wrong .

PVA the edges of the torn paint layer down first ??

 

grrrrrrr

Blackout curtains and very dark sunglasses, and pull the lighting circuit fuse.

 

Or ask Steve Wonder.

Sand, paint, sand paint, repeat with a fine roller  (or cover your walk on glazing).?

Sand ? . You mean the paint edging ? . Shouldn’t I just stick that down ??

[Mr Punter]

It is difficult to match up sprayed paint finish.  You need to lose the edges with some fine sandpaper and do as @joe90 says.  It that a ceiling or a floor?  It is a bit hard to tell in your place.

So just finely sand the torn paint back to good I.e stuck paint ?

Then fine roller ? . I could set the sprayer up just for this bit if I really really have to !!

Fine sand paper removes the plaster bot the paint . Paint is a silk type Adair so like a ‘skin’ on the plaster

I might tend to peel any paint off that’s not stuck, loads of paint on the plaster (many coats) which you can then sand back to match the sprayed paint, them maybe a mist coat sprayed on to blend it in..

If I didn't know better I would say that is walkon glazing in a floor, with a not-quite-plumb wall.

 

Now serious.

 

Slightly concerning that it is coming off in a sheet - is it all that loose? Any idea why that is? 

 

If it isn't gloss I might be inclined to overpaint the whole ceiling with a slightly different shade.

It doesn’t ‘tear’ its a ‘film’ . The larger bit I got off was surprisingly stretchy . Bathroom type ; moisture resistant paint not like emulsion ...

Because I ripped some beading off that had a line of Mastik stuck to the paint . 

[ProDave]

I am concerned that the sprayed on paint just peels off.  I don't think I have ever been able to peel off painted or rollered emulsion paint like that.

[Pocster]

It’s like a stretchy ‘plaster ‘ . Actually quite hard to tear . Well ! Apart from the bit I ripped off .

[Pocster]

Tempted to pva the edges down .

Only a small portion is exposed once I reset the beading . Then mask half the bathroom out . Spend 50 quid on the smallest paint quantity ( same brand obviously ) . Spray it for 10 seconds . Then 3 hours cleaning sprayer ??

[Pocster]

Or just fine mini roller and hope for the best ?

[joe90]

Looks like a vinyl paint to me, have you got any more, left over from the spraying?

Nope . That’s why I said 50 quid for a tin in my sprayer . I can probably buy a tester pot and then try your fine roller approach ....

Paint was a silk / vinyl ; moisture resistant type thing . The whole point of it being a ‘skin’ is to keep moisture out .

Just do that and move on, you won’t notice the paint with that dodgy little square tile visible.

[Onoff]

Think I'd be running a scalpel around the damaged area to define an "edge" beyond which is guaranteed stuck down paint.

And this is why you back roll sprayed surfaces.

You could replace the quadrant with a decorative plaster cornice to cover the error:

I know . I remember you saying this in another thread . I do like the smooth non textured finish though . But ‘patching’ it will be a dog unless I respray that tiny area - which I am prepared to do . It’s just the thought of cleaning the sprayer again .... 

[joe90]

Try a foam roller first.
