We are considering using roll-on plaster for the walls (probably from Hornbach).

Can it be painted over afterwards, or will it turn out patchy? Because I always read online that it should be tinted in advance.
Best regards, Bauexperte

I will probably only get my materials from there. The manufacturer has not been determined yet.
But if I understand your answer correctly, it can generally be excluded.

I seriously advise you to try textured roller plaster first in a utility room or basement. You’ll quickly realize that it’s not as easy as it looks in the commercials.
We initially used roller plaster from Knauf. What a terrible mix…. You can’t apply it fast enough before it starts drying.
Especially if your building is still in the drying phase, it’s not the best time to use roller plaster. Besides the high costs, a professional painter will achieve a much better result than you will. And you can’t just remove roller plaster easily once it’s applied.
Wallpapering was our solution. Keep in mind that your house has about 600 m² (6,460 sq ft) of wall and ceiling area. That would mean nearly 60 buckets.
