painting skimmed plaster in kitchen

[BAGGIES1]

Hi needed some advice.

Been checking out my Readers digest DIY book.

Need to paint plaster skimmed walls (dry-lined) in a kitchen. The kitchen perhaps isnt as ventilated as it could be so condensation is going to be a serious issue. (I have a large portable de-humidifier currently to solve that issue).

The readers digest directs for painting plaster and painting kitchens but not both senario's together.

At the moment i'm thinking standard emulsion (watered down 50%).
Then two coats (or perhaps a single) of specialised bathroom/kitchen paint (anti-condensation) over that.

How do that sound? Does the kitchen/bathroom anti condensation paint make any difference?

any help would be great thanks.

In my expereince "BAGGIES1" when new surfaces are in household kitchens then there is no need to apply special Kitchen & Bathroom Emulsion at this stage. I would apply one coat of Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt thiined down by 25% and leave to dry. Then fill any imperfections and leave to dry. Then rub down filler areas and touch up with the Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt thiined down by 25% and leave to dry. Then i would apply two coats of Dulux Trade Vinyl Soft Sheen on your surfaces. Dulux Trade Vinyl Soft Sheen is washable.
