Skim Coating | Smooth Walls For Painting | Bathroom Makeover On A Budget EP.7

Today we're talking about skim coating to smooth walls for painting. I wanted to get rid of the weird textured walls in the bathroom that kept us from getting a nice paint finish and skim coat the corners for a sharper look. After removing the wallpaper a few years ago and ripping out some old cabinets there were divots in the drywall as well as random spots of texture on the walls. Skim coating walls is a great and affordable way to get smooth walls that will look flawless after painting them.
