URGENT!!An extention of my previous question: What is the best fastest way to get paint of a wall.?

The pain is pealing and chipped and really nasty looking and i am concerned that if after we remove the loose stuff that we just paint that the indentations where the paint came off will show with the new paint on. How can we avoid this?URGENT!!An extention of my previous question: What is the best fastest way to get paint of a wall.?
Sand it smooth. Remove all paint that is loose then go over it with an 80 grit sand paper then a 220, lots of work, good luck to you.URGENT!!An extention of my previous question: What is the best fastest way to get paint of a wall.?
First you should find out why it's peeling ,is it water damage? close to a window or heater or just old paint? you should peel of as much of the loose paint as possible then buy sme pre-mixed pudy (the stuff they use to do drywall) and slap it over the patch of peeled paintoverlapping the edge of the peeled patch, smoth it out sand it and maybe a second coat san it out nicely then paint over it. Go to home depto or another hardware store and they can explain how to use the stuff better and show you the supplies you need. It won't cost much.
sand paper is the best on paint. go to lowe's or home depot. tell them your problem and they will give you the right sand paper and will tell you what to do, if you need to scrape it, repaint it, or whatever else they will help. well GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!
After scraping off all of the loose paint, use sandpaper to smooth out the edges.
Scrape it and then sand it. Make sure you wear a respirator (sp). As some old paint contains lead and as you know that is bad for you.
The pain is pealing? It's ';The PAINT is PEELING.';
consider this rip the wall down, if it is a inside wall save your self alot of work and rip old wall out and put up new drywall faster cheaper less time consuming to work it. consider a 4 by 8 sheet of dry wall under 10 bucks and some plaster and sand paper to that of sanding and trying to get everything right. also the old paint may still peal do you want this or start fresh. new dry wall and primer and paint doesn't get better than that.
wallpepr first then paint over the wallpaper- plain white wallpaper will work unless you are painting the wall a dark color- in that case use darker wallpaper
I've had the same problem in my house, too. I took a flat razor blade and scraped off the globs and stuff. Then a light sanding all over, just to scuff up the paint a bit (you don't want to sand too deep because you may expose older lead-based paint) then wash with TSP and rinse well. Once the wall is dry, Use a 10-inch putty knife to apply a thin layer of drywall compound over the whole area. After it dries, you can sand out any inconsistancies, prime and paint. Take your time sanding to make sure you get it very flat. Oh, and wear a dust mask and close your airvents while sanding.


Works great and is much cheaper than ripping out the wall and safer than sanding old paint.
