Hello,
Our apartment is currently being completely skim-coated (including sanding and priming). After that, all walls will be painted white.
The first rooms are finished, and unfortunately, strong transitions are visible on the walls, so the surface is not even. Depending on the angle of the light, this is very noticeable.
Can these transitions be corrected by applying another coat of paint? Because the result shouldn’t look like this, right?

But that’s so typical of German craftsmen. Your expectations and what is delivered—rather than explaining and maybe even offering a Q4 finish—are met with a take-it-or-leave-it approach, leaving it up to chance whether it escalates.

You only need to read this once.

koelnumland21 Oct 2024 01:24Does the entire wall need to be skim-coated at Q3? Or is the following picture considered Q3? The joints are definitely sanded. My assumption is that the different substrates are causing the issue.
I thought the wall would be fully covered once at Q3.

My guess is that the different substrates are causing the issue.What kind of plaster is it – gypsum or something else? (Gypsum, right?) What type of plaster finish – smoothed or troweled? (I assume that floating or rubbing finishes are excluded.)
What was contractually agreed upon?
For the quality description, I recommend the information sheet "Interior Plaster Surfaces" from the Federal Association of the Gypsum Industry.

koelnumland21 Oct 2024 08:36These are drywall panels, and the joints between the panels as well as any uneven areas have been filled and completely sanded.
I had expected a full layer of plaster to create a uniform surface.
The painter just replied: we weren’t completely finished yet, and one more coat of paint should remove or cover the streaks. I’m just not convinced about that.
Is there any alternative?
A Q3 level of finishing was contractually agreed upon.
