What type of preparation is required before painting a mural?
Trusting the integrity of a previous coat of paint can put mural work in jeopardy, so it is always best to paint on a primed or freshly painted wall surface. The ideal wall for a mural would be new plaster that has been primed with two coats of a high grade 100% acrylic primer (see About the Paints). Obviously, many of us live in houses where the walls have been painted with “latex” several times and may requiring fixing and priming before a mural is painted. Preparation of walls will be discussed at our initial meeting and the client can chose to have the work done by moolee moolee for a reasonable price.
