Plaster work sense check please

Hi,

I hate second guessing trades people, but does the below look correct to anyone in the know..

To me, bare metal can rust and doesn’t paint easily, but not sure if this is the done thing. Walls will be painted, no wallpaper.

Happy with the actual plaster work on the walls and ceilings, just these outside edges look off to me.

I haven’t paid for anything yet.

Corner bead will be either stainless or galvanised, rust won't be a problem.

Metal does look a little proud of the plaster? Needs to be a smooth right angle obvs, maybe the photo, I learned to put some primer on to help your emulsion stick

Hard to tell in a photo but as long as its flush that looks fine.

Everything is all smooth with nothing sticking out.

Just worried about painting over it.

Cheers

They look like thin coat angle beads, so it’s a reskim or dry lined? If they are thin coat they’ll be galvanised, not available in s/s as far as I know. They CAN rust if constantly exposed to moisture but yours are fine, in the second pic the plasters not fully dry yet by the looks of it.
The plaster does look a little proud of the bead in the second pic, not ideal but should scrape down. Wait for it to fully dry and get decorating; we await your ‘Should I use a mist coat’ post

Looks fine from the pics.
Normal to see the metal edge like that on the corner.
Also normal to see the outline of the bead shading through when drying. Once dry will prob be less pronounced.
As long as it feels flush to the touch then all is well.

I think you are over-thinking a non-problem.

We’ve found now (well, the last 5-10 years) that skim beads tend to show through emulsion.
Belt and braces best practice is now a quick coat of Zinsser BIN shellac prior to emulsion.

Looks good, 50/50 water paint. Golden
