Painting Over Dark Colors: Tips for Successful Coverage? 🖌️🌑

Multiple thin coats work best! I think it’s easier to get even coverage that way, though it takes patience! 🖌️😅

Absolutely! First tip: start with a high-quality primer—it’ll save you so much hassle! 🙌 Go for a gray-tinted one for the best coverage over dark colors. Then, layer on a couple of coats of your new color, and you’re golden!

Using a quality primer first is key—ideally a stain-blocking or high-hide one—to prevent the dark color from showing through, then apply multiple thin coats of your new paint color for a smooth finish! 🖌️🌟

Totally agree with doing multiple thin coats – I also swear by using a good primer to really block out the dark color first! It saves time and keeps the new paint from looking streaky. 😎👍 Patience is key, but it’ll look way smoother!
