      Half of the walls are covered with bright yellow paint after removing the paper. How do I prepare the walls for painting? I know some sanding but is their a product out their to cover the walls before painting.
      Thanks

      Hi there! You’ll need to rinse/sand off any residual glue that remains. When you’re pretty sure you’ve got it all, let dry for a day, then prime with a STAIN-BLOCKING Primer, OR “BIN 123” by Zinsser. The “BIN” is kind of smelly (alcohol based), but it’s the best choice. Reason: it has shellac resin in it, which does a superior job of “locking-out” any teeny bits of glue from bleeding through the primer/paint films.
      If you’ll use a light paint color, white primer is fine…If using a DARK color like Burgundy – use a GRAY primer followed by 3 COATS of the DEEP color. 2 COATS of a light color.
      This’ll help!
