Do I need to scrap wall before painting?
Do I need to scrap wall before painting? Apart from scraping off old paint, filling in holes and cracks in the wall helps to ensure a smooth, consistent surface for your new coat of paint. Use a filler and a filling knife, or scraper, to patch up any visible holes and cracks.
