No
Will be very hard to cover silk with emulsion paint. The best way is probably to either use paint stripper to get it off the walls or undercoat it twice and then use emulsion
Yes but it will need a good key (sand)
Yes at can
Yes will cover
It can but the silksame shine will show through therefore use a primer then emulsion I would have your room looking pristine
Hi matt emulsion will paint kn top of silk but like in all cases where redecorating the existing silk walls will need sanded to key the wall for further applications of any paint.
Yes. You definitely can use matt emulsion to cover silk
I tend to coat up with Vinyl Matt Emulsion before coating up the Matt Emulsion. Silk is a lot more resistant to water, almost repelling it in some cases and can lead to extended drying times and peeling paint
Give walls and ceiling a good rub down and then apply the matt emulsion 2/3 coats
Yes johnstone coverplus 2 coats will do the job
