Painting questions, answered by experts

Typically, professionals recommend two coats of paint for even coverage. However, you may be able to get away with one coat if you’re painting over a light color with a darker or similar-shade color. But if you’re going from a darker to a lighter color, like white to black, you may need up to three coats.

If you’re going from a darker to a lighter color, like white to black, you may need up to three coats. Buying high-quality paint and using primer on the walls beforehand can save you the extra labor and cost that comes with adding more coats of paint.

Learning how to apply an orange peel texture is similar to adding a knockdown texture. You can use a spray gun or a roller to apply the drywall texture and then use various blending techniques to create the desired orange peel look. Adding this texture could be a DIY job, but it also can be extremely messy, so best to leave it to a professional.

You should apply at least two coats of paint to your project, but some surfaces may benefit from a third coat of paint. Ensure you’ve waited the right length of time before applying a second or third coat of paint, and try to apply it evenly for a cohesive finish.

Always fill gaps before painting for the most professional results. Gap-filling materials such as caulk and wood filler require primer and paint to match surrounding surfaces, so addressing gaps during your painting project ensures consistent color and finish throughout the room.

Matching new paint with an old, faded color can be tricky. First, you’ll need to determine whether the paint on your house is latex-based or oil-based. Lightly scrub an inconspicuous area of your home with rubbing alcohol—if the alcohol scrubs away the paint, it’s latex-based. If not, the paint is oil-based. 

Once you have that settled, bring a paint chip or photo of the color to a paint professional and have them mix you a matching paint in the same base (latex or oil). Then paint another inconspicuous part of your house to see if it’s a match.
