White paint. Roll brushes. Paint tins for roll brushes. That blue tape shit.

Are you fucking retarded

>>723247076
Sand first to take some of the darkness out of the color. Then lots of coats of white. You may be able to get away with only 3 white costs if you sand well.

We went over cadbury purple with two white coats with no prior sanding.

Try white paint

>>723247253
do i need some kind of primer between sanding and painting ?
>>723247295
it's random board so i can place questions also here.

>>723247302
You paint over the fucking color dumbass. Sand it down a bit. GOOGLE. Waste of space

>>723247076
You can get paint with a primer mixed in. Spackle the holes and sand them down then apply the coats of paint. Two coats probably.

at first you buy LOADS of sandpaper,
then scrap off the old paint eith small, circling movements. then you need to lay down a layer of green, as this neutralises the natural red tint white paint has. then you put on the white paint. done. do it right, and you'll be happier with the outcome

i tried to google it but all i got was people talking about paint quality so i decided to ask something that isn't artificial.
carpet for those who like them.

As someone who does this on a regular basis, this is what you do:

If you're cheap; >>723247149
is right.
You'll need to cover the ground, and get a few coats of paint on the wall if the color is very dark, as is your case; you'll probably need at least 4-5 to get that sparkling white. The number of layers depends on how cheap you were with the paint.
Buy latex based paint, it covers better and
lightly sand the painted wall between each layer to promote the next layer's good adherance.

Make sure you tape everything, you don't want to paint, and get some plastic sheeting for the ground. Get a brush for the hard to get places, and make sure you wrap your roll in plastic so keep it from drying if you plan to do layers over a couple of days.

When you're rolling the paint, cross paint layers, one vertical, the other horizontal, while lightly sanding that shit.

That's how you get museum style perfect white. Oh and don't forget to fill up holes beforehand using either a finish filler if it's only small holes/cracks or classic filler for bigger holes. Sand that shit well and make sure you leave to try an adequate amount of time. Use a masson's spatula to spread that shit right.

what should i use to fill the holes ?
