    Default concrete wall paint or plaster ?

    Hi all

    After doing an exstensive seach for info on this and not finding any have to ask .

    Is there any paints that i can use over a concrete wall (one coat grey ) that will make it look like the wall has been plastered .?

    i am doing a major reno and one of the rooms has one wall that is face brick that i was going to cover in plaster board and the other two are just concrete . So i was hoping i could sand down the concrete and paint it insted of getting it plastered .is this possible ?

    thanks

    Rob

    Default

    for the cost of plastering 2 walls I would plaster it.

    The harder way is to skim coat the concrete to get rid of all the pin holes.

    Cheers
