Hello everyone,
Starting tomorrow, our interior walls will be finished with Q2 plaster.
We will carry out the painting work ourselves a few weeks later.
Now we are wondering what would be the best option for this.
We have currently considered several options but are still unsure which one we prefer (cost/effort).
1. Simply paint with EasyKnauf roll plaster (fine texture)
2. Apply painter’s fleece underneath and paint with EasyKnauf roll plaster (fine texture)
3. Apply painter’s fleece underneath and paint with standard emulsion paint
4. Use textured wallpaper (Raufaser) and then paint over it
We generally don’t like ceilings and walls to be completely smooth – a fine texture is perfectly fine.
What have you done in similar situations? If it wasn’t a DIY job: What did your painter do?
Any tips/tricks/notes on this?

Ceilings were skim-coated, covered with smooth fleece wallpaper, and painted.

My partner applied woodchip wallpaper and paint over a Q2 finish, which I would no longer choose for aesthetic reasons.

Any tips/tricks/remarks on this?Stir the textured plaster regularly and especially wash out the rollers more often. Over time, the granules build up there, and eventually, you end up applying a large clump of sand with each stroke.Also, don’t pour the leftovers from one bucket into the next. This causes the material to become too concentrated.
The last bit is for the dead painters 😉

Also, don’t pour leftover material from one bucket into another. This causes the consistency to change too much.
The last bit is for the painters who’ve stopped working 😉Is it correct that you can’t work with roll-on textured plaster in the same way as with emulsion paint? In other words, is it more difficult to apply?
Is it possible for one person to prime corners, edges, and tricky areas, while another applies the plaster broadly with a roller? I’ve heard from an acquaintance that applying roll-on textured plaster isn’t necessarily suitable for beginners...

Can edges, corners, and difficult areas be pre-coated by one person, and then another person apply it over larger areas with a roller? I’ve heard from a friend that applying roller plaster isn’t necessarily suitable for DIYers... It is more difficult to apply. I have also used it in my hallway and had it on several walls in my previous house.
I’ve always had the problem that the material doesn’t stay on the roller, even when it’s damp. That’s why I always applied it with a trowel first and then textured it with a roller.
