How many coats of paint are needed?
The number of coats depends on the existing colour, the substrate, the product and the desired finish.
What matters before the work starts
The number of coats depends on the existing colour, the substrate, the product and the desired finish.
A useful estimate should consider the current condition of the surface, access, protection requirements and any preparation work needed before the final finish.
When to request an assessment
If walls have cracks, uneven areas, stains or loose old finishes, the project may require more than simply applying a new coat of paint.
