Painting interior skimmed wall - old paint peeling off?

Danye · 2013-12-08 15:30:58

Hi lads, The folks are painting one of the rooms in their house and the paint that they're painting over is peeling off when applying the new paint. The wall was originally painted with a matt paint but the new paint is soft sheen. Is this what the problem is? Would anybody know how to go about stopping the old paint…

Any help and advice greatly appreciated.

Polybond the old paint first, it peeling off as it wasn't done before.

I think I'm going to scrape off the bits that are peeling (it's only a few bits of the wall as opposed to the whole wall), polyfill were it peeled, then polybond it and then finally paint it.

That should work I imagine.
