Hello,
I was advised to prime the area around the heating system in the utility room shortly before installation, as this is reportedly difficult to do afterward, and many homeowners tend to skip it.
The situation is that at the time I could paint, there will be fresh (but already walkable) screed, and the walls are not yet dry. They have a gypsum skim coat a few millimeters thick.
Usually, it is recommended to work on the walls only after the building has been dried. However, since this is not about achieving a perfect result (but rather an improvement compared to not painting the area at all or doing so under very difficult conditions), it might be acceptable to overlook this? Or are there other reasons besides the quality of the finish to wait for the drying process?
How would you approach this?

no... primer first...Yes, no, I understood that already. I was more asking whether wallpaper or fleece was applied in between.ypg schrieb:
We were also given the opportunity to do the painting. We gladly took it on: it was the first productive task we were allowed to do ourselves in the house.
It turned out to be a nice coat of paint, including a primer, using emulsion paint. The plaster can also dry with the paint on. NO wallpaper! Why would you put wallpaper in the utility room?
bauenmk202023 Jan 2021 18:49We didn’t do anything to the installation wall.
On the other walls and ceiling, we did the full treatment: filled, sanded, primed, applied smooth fleece wallpaper, and painted white with silicate dispersion paint. Our utility room can be accessed through the kitchen, and later the washing machine and dryer will be placed under a countertop with wall cabinets above. That’s why we put in the extra effort.
But just priming and painting would probably have been enough.

FoxMulder2423 Jan 2021 23:46We also painted the utility room immediately after the house was erected, at least once the general contractor had finished plastering it.
We used Sto Prim Plex as a primer and then painted with StoColor Sil Mineral in white. (We used silicate paint throughout the entire house).
The electrician arrived the next day and started the electrical work.
Later, it is hardly possible to access all the areas behind the pipes, the tank, etc. So make sure to do this beforehand!

Just use any primer and paint.
P.S.: To avoid making mistakes again, I’ll stick to passive reading from now on.
