How To Get Rid of Striped Wall

Several days ago I worked in a kids bedroom. One wall had stripes and client wanted to get ride of them. The main problem we need to solve before painting over this wall is to sand the lines between the stripes made by taping each stripe separately in the painting process.In this video we can see these lines even they are modest in this case.




By using a sanding machine along these stripe lines we can sand them off; for this I would use 120 grit sandpaper.






In this video you can see how the wall looks after sanding it.




The next step is to sand unreachable spots by hand using folded sand paper: sand up by the ceiling and down by the baseboards.





Now it's time to vacuum clean the wall or wash it up with the water and sponge. After its completely clean and dry you can prime it with the primer, especially if you paint the wall with a lighter color or just paint 2 coats with the self priming paint (paint and primer in one).

Good luck!
