I have to repaint a couple of canvas flats for my kids upcoming play. They were last used for Jungle Book so most of the paint on them currently is very dark green. I need to paint them as castle walls, so lots of grays. Also - and not sure if this matters - I’m pretty sure they were painted with standard latex interior paint not scenic paint, which is also what I have. I’ve looked around a bit but can’t find the answer to my question, so ...
Should I do a coat of primer or white paint first? I’ve painted enough walls to know how to do that, but never flats. What kind of prep do they need, if any? The paint on them now is in good shape - no flaking or peeling or cracking.
Thanks.
