Advice about painting?
I am painting my office, but im not skilled at this kind of painting, I haven't done it much before. I watched a heap of you tube videos and read all the instructions. I went from a white wall and a light beige trim and door to a very dark green wall and a crisp white trim. Its ok given its a first go, although the lines could be sharper.
I did two coats on the trim (light sanding in between) with deluxe wash and wear semi gloss. Left it dry for almost 24 hours an then I taped the trim to do the walls, but when I removed the tape the paint came with it. The door is also scratching off very easily.
What have I done wrong? Did I need to leave it longer before taping? Is it possible the previous paint was enamel? How would i know?
What should I do next? Paint it with bulls eye, and the start again with the same paint? Do I sand it and then start again with an enamel?
Also, whatever I do, I would have to tape the edges, how do I do that without messing up the green walls?
Any advice is really appreciated. This is my office and I have to get it back together for work next week.
