Hello,
I'm in the process of painting my house's living room, but the walls are very old (house is 100 yrs old), and there are a LOT of imperfections.
I've painted a few walls before, but they were all in good shape, and all I had to do was apply a new coat of paint on top of the existing one.
As you can see in the pictures, I started to sand the walls, then some of the drywall started to show.
I don't know what to do, what steps need to be taken before I paint, if I have to apply some compound, re-do drywalls (seems like a lot of work), etc..
See attachments (before/after pictures)
Thank you.
