How can I remove Paint from a wall?

Question

I wanna remove it, then white wash it, then choose a new color. is this the best way of getting along with this?

Answer 1

Save yourself a lot of grief and agony. You aren't going to be able to remove the paint. Just purchase some white Kilz primer/sealer for the walls. For the second coat of primer, have it tinted the same color as the paint color you choose, then the paint. This should solve the problem. It was necessary for us to do this in a bedroom my son had painted navy blue. Good luck!

Answer 2

Okay removing paint off the wall is not a good ideal even if it wood paneled walls.
[ messy and allot of trouble that follows also ]

Sherwin Williams owns nearly ever paint company in the U.S.A.

So therefore you can use Kitz with a great paint company to back the warranty up!
This product is sold at a price of $ 9.99 per gallon plus tax.

This is a oil pigmented primer and for the price Nothing on the the Paint market can touch it with a 10 foot pole. At the price
I normally say use Sherwin Williams under coater but in your case this will be fine.

Now you like to do a white wash Okay I'm your artist also Faux Finishing, Marble, you name I can do it with paint I'm not spending this time to tell you this for best answer because someone has already offered to your question to apply Kitz I myself I'm answering your question for other reasons.

Tint your primer to a light gray and prime two coats [ oil ] then thin your white finish paint down and do your white wash. Then use Latex over it do not make your finish coat oil just the primer.

Answer 3

Use Glidden's "Gripper" Primer to block out and seal the old paint and color. "Kilz" is not a user friendly product. Now you can choose Gripper in Grey or White colors, grey is for high hiding and the application of pastel or deep base colored paints . . . being you want to wash I would naturally use the white primer.

Answer 4

It takes time to remove the paint from wall. You have to use sand papers and wire brushes to remove them completely before you white wash it.

Answer 5

Depends..Is it oil based? water based? You have to know that first, then check with a hardware store and find out the best procedure for removal. If you scraped off a sample and took it to them they could tell you what kind of paint it is and how best to remove it. They would also be able to advise you of how to continue to best obtain the end result you are looking for.

Answer 6

I have never removed paint from a wall. If it is a hard color to conceal, try a product that will cover such as Kiln's. It is very easy to use and covers even very dary colors or colors that bleed.

Answer 7

its time consuming and never done it. Try an oil sealer over the paint then repaint it with the colour that you like

Answer 8

Don't remove it, paint over it...but use primer first.

Answer 9

if its a dark color just put a layer of primer on it the put your layer of white on it. if you can still see the color add another layer of white. then put the new color on it.
