Edit93 1 Report post Posted February 21, 2014 Hi,I am curious if any of the pros here have experience in painting over rough textured wall?I initially thought of smoothening it myself using the Joint Compound then paint over it.What is the recommendation?and How much would it cost to ask a contractor to smoothen and paint the wall? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIftyTech 1 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 Not a pro here but I painted over those "sand blasted" / rough textured walls before. Very difficult. I used a thick sponge roller and a brush. Use the roller to move several times over the wall as normal, There will be some deep "pits" that the paint will never be able to reach. I use a brush to do a 2nd job to fill up the pits.The nice sharp and rough wall will be less sharp and "rounder" after the paint. (stone surface feel to deep pimple surface feel) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
