Question on painting over a faux finish?

my husband and i just bought a condo there is an accent wall in the living room that has a f aux finish its a suede look finish, the texture of the wall does not really bother me(it is rough) can i just paint over it or do i need to actually sand the wall down for the new color to actually take as the texture leaves a lot of crevasses so i hope it will cover with the new color completely, your help is appretiated.Question on painting over a faux finish?
For your new paint to adhere properly, you should sand off the suede finish, then use a good primer.Question on painting over a faux finish?
I don't see why not, but the best answer is to go to a store that sells suede paint and read the label. There should be instructions on how to do what you want.
Just paint over it, but prime it first, Kilz lates primer, to be sure it adheres, then whatever color you like
