Ceiling rose paint

Posted by Jim Scott, on
What sort of paint should I use on a nice original ceiling rose. I've managed to strip it back to the original pattern which is very delicate and complete. I want to protect the plaster but keep the pattern nice and clear.

Hi Jim You should use an alkali primer and then thin down some emulsion with water so you don't fill the detail back in. Paul
