How to even out the grooves between sheets?

We recently bought an older house, which has a back room added-on. The internal walls and ceiling are made of thin sheet material, and we’re planning to paint them white for a cleaner look.

 

What’s the best way to fill or even out the grooves between the sheets? (See attached photo.)

 

After filling, I was planning to use a primer undercoat followed by an interior white paint. Any recommendations or general advice would be greatly appreciated. This is just a temporary aesthetic fix—as we plan to properly rebuild the room in future—so I’m looking for a cost-effective and simple solution for now.

Thank you

Re: How to best even out the grooves between sheets

Hello @weverard 

 

I propose using Parfix 500g Ready To Use Multipurpose Filler - 500g in combination with UNi-PRO 50mm Real Good Paint Scraper for a nice flat finish. Allow the filler to cure properly before sanding the surface. I recommend using Zinsser 1L White Bulls Eye Primer Undercoat Sealer And Stain Blocker and Taubmans 4L White Low Sheen Easycoat All Walls Paint as topcoat tinted in your preferred colour.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
