Pocster Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Sand, paint, sand paint, repeat with a fine roller (or cover your walk on glazing).? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the paint edging ? . Shouldn’t I just stick that down ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 !!

Pocster Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Fine sand paper removes the plaster bot the paint . Paint is a silk type Adair so like a ‘skin’ on the plaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..

Ferdinand Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

ProDave Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 It’s like a stretchy ‘plaster ‘ . Actually quite hard to tear . Well ! Apart from the bit I ripped off . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 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 ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Or just fine mini roller and hope for the best ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Looks like a vinyl paint to me, have you got any more, left over from the spraying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do that and move on, you won’t notice the paint with that dodgy little square tile visible. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Think I'd be running a scalpel around the damaged area to define an "edge" beyond which is guaranteed stuck down paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
