How to paint new plaster
Painting a newly plastered wall requires more preparation than painting a normal wall. You can’t start painting new plaster directly and instead, have to take steps to seal the plaster so you can get the colourful finish you want.
What you’ll need
1. Let the plaster dry
2. Mix a mist coat
3. Apply the mist coat and let it dry
4. Apply the topcoat

Content: The mist coat will be completely mixed together when the water isn’t settling on the surface of the emulsion. 3. Apply the mist coat and let it dry
There are two different ways you can apply the mist coat. If you choose to use a roller, you’ll cover the wall much quicker but it will be very messy as rollers can splatter paint very easily. Alternatively, a paintbrush will take much longer but you shouldn’t have as many drips to deal with. However, you choose to apply the coat, work in smooth upward motions until you cover the entire wall. The mist coat is very runny so whenever you spot drips or streaks, paint over them quickly to prevent them from drying and ruining your perfect finish. Wait 24 hours for your mist coat to dry before you apply the topcoat. 4. Apply the topcoat
As soon as your mist coat has dried you can decorate normally.
