Can you plaster over paint?

Yes with the right preparation you can plaster over paint. Some paints tho will not take the plaster so always best to check with your plasterer and they can advise what would be the best course of action. Preparation is always key when it comes to plastering there would be nothing worse than having a lovely decorated room and a few months later the plaster falls off the walls

What happens if you paint wet plaster?

If you paint over wet plaster the paint will not adhere properly and flake off in due course. It is always best to allow the plaster to dry fully before starting decoration with a mist coat (a watered down emulsion). You can often tell when plaster is dry enough once it has all changed to a light uniformed colour with no dark patches. For wallpapering it is often best to allow 3 months before covering as the walls can not breath once covered.
