Has anyone used Graham Aqua Ceramic Paint (semi gloss) paint for doors or trim? How did it perform?

Aqua Borne Paint

Absolutely great paint. I used it (satin finish) on all my trim and will be using it on doors. In fact, I am preparing to re-paint my son's kitchen cupboards with it. It applies like a dream and is tough as nails. Highly recommend it.

Painting a room with picture frame molding

F

My dining room has picture frame molding above the chair rail, as well as crown and baseboard molding. Right now, the entire room is painted white. I would like to leave the trim white (just give it a fresh coat of paint) and paint the rest of the walls a light sand color. My question is, do I paint the trim first or the walls? Are there any special techniques to help me keep straight lines around the trim?Read More

serious wallpaper removal problems

J

jjjstzr on Jul 23, 2009

I've read several threads, but no one seems to have the exact problem I have. I have removed wallpaper in my kitchen/breakfast area that was 20+ years old. The wallpaper had been painted over. In the kitchen I was able to remove all the paper and glue, but the drywall was pretty damaged, leaving lots of areas of brown paper showing. I have primed and mudded, but there's so much damage and I'm so inexperienced that I can't get it smooth. I have decided to mud a texture on the walls to hide the imperfections. The problems really started with the breakfast area. It was a different type of wallpaper and removal left the paper backing. I got that off and started on the glue layer, used bleach water, vinegar, fabric softener, and a few different commercial products. It is coming off slowly, but the top layer of dry wall is wrinkling and I'm having to cut out massive areas of the first layer of dry wall, which I will prime and mud and will texture like the rest of the kitchen. I still have 3 walls left of glue. Can I just prime over the glue, because removing the glue is removing the first layer of the drywall and I'm ready to get on with this? Also, if I use an oil based primer, then mud the entire wall with mud, do I need to prime again and does it matter what kind of paint I use?Read More
