Skim Coat Painter
Skim Coat Painter. I have several sections of my walls that have mismatched orange peel due to home repairs. If anyone has had this problem and has had their home 'skim coated' and re-painted, please share the name and number of the painter that you used. TIA

Not sure what 'skim coating' is, but I have found the spray on orange peel coating is very effective at matching the existing orange peel. These spray cans have a setting valve, I use a scrap piece of dry wall as a test piece to see if i have the setting right, as i recall the light to slightly medium works well. Next the paint MUST be the same color but also the same finish, this is very important, anything other than flat on a flat finished wall will stick out like a sore thumb even if the color matches exactly

Sorry, I thought you were trying to hide some repairs, no idea on doing skim coat over paint. I did do similar on a previous house but this was over plaster on drywall repair. If you do not get additional replies, I would start calling the larger interior painters, Steve Kling, Oscars, etc.
