    Hi Boardsies

    I have a newly rendered rear garden wall. Scudded, Scratched and top coat.

    Its approx 22sqm

    I was wondering what is the length of time i should wait until its fit for painting?

    Teh render was sand and cement 4-1 mix.

    And...

    When i do go to paint it should i put the paint straight on or should i prime it?

    Thanks

    You could have coloured the render top coat when mixing it up,and you wouldnt need to paint at all.

    Thats what I did.
