Painting over new masonry paint

Pandoras Twist · 2024-08-13 18:26:07

Hi all, I got a painter in to paint a few bits but he ended up painting one area with colour that I'd wanted to be painted white. Its only small so I'm going to fix it myself. Would a light sand be enough or do I need to do more prep? If a light sand is enough, what grit should I use?

No need to sand it, just paint it white, you may need a couple of coats to cover it tho
