Painting over gloss......advice needed

    Hi,

    My friends husband decided to redocorate the bathroom while she was away for a week.

    He painted it orange!! The ceiling, the walls, the fittings for the mirror. The only thing left untouched were the tiles. :eek:

    Apart from the colour orange he used GLOSS paint. :eek:

    Anyhow, would anybody know how this could be remedied???
    They need to prepare the walls so that they can be painted with emulsion.

    A local paint shop gave them undercoat - but as far as I can see this only prepares the walls to paint them in gloss paint.

    Any advice would be most welcome........

    PS He is in the dog-house...........:D

    I don't see what the problem is; colour is good and it is an ideal room to have a lively colour in! And gloss is a good wipe-down surface for a Bathroom.
    Anyway, a light sanding should score the surfaces enough to apply a new paint.
