- How to paint new / fresh Artexed or bare Plastered Walls and Ceilings. The first (KEY) coat of Emulsion.
A short video demonstration / discussion, covering aspects of painting a new (just completed, and dried - porous) plastered (or textured) wall (or ceiling) enabling the 'KEY' coat to adhere, and the paint does not flake off, later on.
The video also covers texturing a porous ceiling or wall; the important factor of sealing, or priming, the porous surface prior to texturing any kind of pattern, effect or design, using comb tools, fingers, sponges, rollers, brushes and rags, stipple brush, tree-bark roller, broken leather, fans shells, oystershell, crowfoot etc etc.
(An added note: Texture, once applied to the surface, begins the process of water evaporation, because it is a 'water based material.' And water evaporates. The idea of priming, or sealing, your ceiling or wall prior to texturing it, is to aid in slowing the rate of water evaporation from the applied texture, making it workable for longer.
Manufacturers of materials designed for creative texture finishes will recommend you need a good, sound, solid, non-absorbent background so their product, once dried (and shrunk slightly) onto the surface looks as good as when it was fresh and shiny, and possesses that 'just done look.')
Most texture, once first applied to the ceiling or wall, will be 'very shiny' but when dry off, will be of a dull appearance, and the new surface will be very porous. Many folk wish to recreate this new 'shiny look,' once the texture has dried enough for painting.
Required for the job of first coating a new textured or plastered ceiling or wall, is 'interior paint for ceilings and walls.
There are many varieties of makes and colours of this type of paint, and is often referred to as 'emulsion,' and may produce a 'shiny' (sheen) finish, or maybe a 'matt' (dull) finish, once the paint has completely dried onto the ceiling or wall.
A shiny finish is often 'washable,' and the paint is called 'vinyl silk emulsion.' (Even though such paint is water-based.) Whereas a 'dull' finish is often called a 'matt emulsion.' (Again, water-based.)
In this video, I focus on MATT EMULSION (with a bit of customizing) for the first coat.
For a job to run smoothly, so there are no come-backs later on, there is an important warning (well, a few, in fact.)
It is not recommended to paint VINYL SILK EMULSION directly onto a new plastered or textured ceiling or wall, but the surface is just too porous and many paints will soon peel off once dried; almost like sheets of plastic.
It is not recommended to paint 'thick consistency' emulsion directly onto a new textured or plastered wall or ceiling, because the paint will not absorb sufficiently into the porous surface and will not create the important 'key' for subsequent layers of paint to adhere to.
Bubbling paint has no adhesion beneath it! (Of course, there are many more reasons for bubbling paint, such as water or heat penetration or a surface which has broken down and become powdery. Either way, the background where the paint lays is unstable.)
And this is how to prevent flaking paint falling from your ceilings & walls! As long as the background, and the surrounding atmosphere has not caused the problem in the first place.
Thank you for watching
Great information Dale. Nicely done!
Thank's Paul. Hope you are doing well buddy. Have a great day
Thanks for your Informative Video Dale. Good to know there's still Quality Tradesmen out there like Your Good Self. Many thanks and Kind regards Colyn.
Colyn you are welcome. And thank you for the bigup. Have a great day
Great video, lots of good tips. I'm glad I watched as I understand better how to properly prep a new wall for paint and texture. I've done two oyster shell ceilings using Dale' s techniques. They came out beautifully and my friend was very happy with the finished look. I'm about to do a ceiling for my father and these vids have been very helpful as it has been several years since I last did any artexing. Anyways thanks again to Dale and I highly recommend his video training series. The combs I purchased from Dale were excellent and they included the patterns to make your own which I did, out of some inexpensive plastic for sale signs i picked up at the local hardware store, and I will be using them for the first time in a few days. Cheers to Mr. Ovenstone for his fine teaching and good luck to all future artexers out there who follow in his footsteps. You will not be disappointed and the oohs and ahhs and wows from all the jealous future customers should be proof enough of that.
WOW Randy that is amazing thank you so much for your feedback. It is all about the preparation so I made this video as I remember when I started off years ago having problems with texture drying soon as I laid it on the wall. Your comment has really made my day, and if I can help in any way please let me know. All the best. Regards, Dale
Excellent video thanks very much for the video so helpful
You are welcome Michael thanks for commenting. Have a great day
Cool video keep up the good WORK 😊👍
Thanks for commenting Michael have a great day
Very well said, so it's either a primer or a watered down ordinary paint for the first coat, there's no much difference?
Hi Dale,enjoy your videos. Could you please tell me if you made a video with the homemade roller with plastic waste pipe being used. Im thinking of trying wall brick effect pattern using wall putty. The videos i have viewed use Asian paints putty from India, is there a UK equivalent.
Hi there Ian, thanks for the feedback happy you enjoy the videos. I did make a video the link will be below. The video covers how to make a tree-bark texture roller / applicator. The materials used to make the roller are widely available and the material used to create the bark texture pattern is called 'texture powder' which can be purchased in 25kg bags (and smaller.)

I hope this helps please let me know. Have a great day
Hi Dale,
thanks for this most helpful video - does the same procedure apply to a new fibro cement ceiling?
Or should a special primer be used?
Cheers!
John, thanks for commenting. The video only concentrates on the popular interior ceiling and wall finishes such as plaster, texture and fillers ect. For the recommended practice to decorate fibro cement finishes best to contact the specific manufacturer or obtain a copy of their data sheet. Hope this helps, John. Have a great day
