Hello,

I hope you guys and gals can help me.

I'm redecorating my child's room, turning it into an office. Last time we decorated it was about 5 years ago and we put decals and stickers of kiddy things along the walls, yknow.... Teddies and the likes.

So when I unpeeled them off the wall some of the old paint came off with them.

Do I need to do anything before I start painting with the new paint?

The house was built about 10 years ago and only painted at snagging and then five years ago.

Hi December 2012
When you have decals etc off wall, get some filler and fill out to normal paint thickness and sand smooth when dry. before painting paint the filler first and let dry. Then you can do room and you won't see any trace of where decals were
