Our garage conversion has finally been completed but before I can get out to the golf course the painting has to be done.
To keep costs down I decided (more like the wife decided) that I shall do all the painting.
I have never painted walls and wood from bare before so I am looking for some advice
For plasterboard walls some websites say use a PVA first to seal but others say just use watered down emulsion to or even cheap emulsion straight out the tin. Any advice?
Also the bare wood skirting and window sill need glossed white to match rest of house. Do I need to treat knots, then prime, undercoat and finally gloss? Anybody recommend any combined primer and undercoat to try and save time, or will this provide a poorer finish?
