Filler and patches coming through primer General decorating topics, questions and answers. find help, tips and advice on completing your decorating projects

Hey all,

I'm hoping that somebody will be able to assist. I have a bedroom wall with decent plaster on, so I filled the few gaps/cracks, and then put on my primer - ready to paint the wall red.

Unfortunately this is what has happened:

The filler is showing through the primer, and the rest of the wall is patchy/runny. What can I do? I don't really want to add the paint now if it is going to look like this.

Any assistance/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Fynci,
Try adding a couple of coats of your chosen finishing paint to a small patch of the worst area - it should look OK.
