The process is laborious. We apply thick levelling filler over the textured paint (gotelé) and let it partially dry. We sand with an orbital sander until the surface is completely smooth. We apply a sealing primer and two coats of plastic paint. The dust generated during sanding is considerable. We cover the entire room with plastic sheeting before starting and vacuum thoroughly upon completion. A standard 15 m² room, skimmed and painted, takes 2-3 days of work. Matt plastic paint is the standard option for ceilings and walls in rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It provides a uniform finish without reflections, hides surface imperfections, and is easy to apply. For high-traffic areas (corridors, staircases, hallways) and children's rooms where walls get dirtier, we recommend washable satin plastic paint, which has a very slight sheen but allows for cleaning stains with a damp cloth without damaging the paint. One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn-winter is from homeowners who haven't painted their home for eight or ten years. They have noticed that the walls are no longer white; they are a difficult-to-define grey-yellowish colour. Mediterranean light is very unforgiving on walls. Cheap whites yellow through slow oxidation, especially in rooms with direct sun or near the kitchen where steam and airborne oil are present. Marks from furniture, splashes from the passage of time, and small knocks on corners are cumulative.

For doors, frames, skirting boards, and any interior carpentry, use synthetic or water-based enamel. Water-based acrylic is what we use most today: it dries quickly, has no solvent smell, is washable, and durable. It is applied with a spray gun or a very short-pile roller for a smooth finish. Never with a brush on large surfaces, as it leaves marks. For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-damp and anti-mould plastic paints that resist condensation and steam without generating black mould stains. Their application requires prior priming with a fungicide product if the wall already showed traces of mould. When you repaint with a good white plastic paint and two coats, the room changes radically, and the effect goes beyond the purely aesthetic. The sense of spaciousness increases. Light reflects better off the walls, so you need less artificial lighting. Furniture appears cleaner by contrast. And living in a freshly painted house feels different from living in one that needs a refresh. It is a modest investment with a disproportionate impact on daily well-being.

Of course. Quality plastics, masking tape, foam board depending on the surface. Everything clean and vacuumed upon completion. 80-100 m² with a team of 2 people, two coats: 3-4 days. If prior removal of textured paint (gotelé) is required, add 2-3 days.
