I am currently renovating a home built in 1987. All interior walls are painted with an oil based paint. After researching online, it suggested to de-gloss the paint by sanding it to create a better service for the primer to adhere to. Well I began de-glossing the walls, but it appears that the paint is not smooth and has hills and valleys. I was under the impression i should be lightly sanding, but it seems that this light sanding only de-glosses the top layer of the paint (hill), and leaves an untouched pore-like surface (valley) beneath it.
I have zinsser bulls eye 1-2-3 primer and am wondering if this is a well enough prepared surface for priming? Do i need to skim coat the walls to fill in the pores?
Please provide me with some guidance.
Thank you
