painting over stripes

[Unregistered-kodabby]

We painted 2 different color stripes on my daughters wall using painters tape. We now need to paint the room for our son. Can we paint right over the stripes or will the texture from the edges of the stripes show through?

Just to be sure th edges don’t show.

Use a sanding sponge in the 180-grit area. It’ll be tedious, but you’d be surprised how little a ridge will show through to new paint film!
* Make sure you prime after all the sanding! Remove all dust first, then prime.
* Once the primecoat is dry, inspect wall very closely, at different angles, to find other flaws/ridges leftover. Repair/sand again as needed, and brush on a hazy coat of primer on these areas.
* Finally…ready for 2 full coats of paint!!
