Hello everyone,

to the painters among us, is it possible to paint plasterboard directly?

From my understanding, I would say no, since the paint can soften the paper surface. On the other hand, wallpaper adhesive is also liquid.

There are no high aesthetic demands, so no living-area quality is required. It is simply about painting a storage room in the basement, but it should be done fairly evenly and in a light color.

I also considered priming, but wasn’t sure if “regular” paint would adhere properly afterward...

Actually, it holds best that way. Just apply a cheap primer from the hardware store, and you’re done. It makes painting much easier.

I still have several cans of deep primer, so that’s not a problem...
Okay, thanks a lot already...

Um, sorry, what exactly?

Kehr, there was another text included. But couldn’t you ask that a bit more politely?

Uwe82 got it, after all.
