Haven't done much of this so I really don't have a clue. We have the standard textured/painted wall in several rooms of the house, SHMBO wants to change the texture to look something like I would describe as stucco.
To achieve this I assume you would apply slightly thinned joint compound on the wall then trowel with sweeping a motion (achieving a surface much like I normally do when trying to float a wall smooth!! ). My question I guess is; can I simply apply the compound directly on top of the painted surface or will I have to remove the existing texure/paint?
Thank in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
