Painting over dark colors with lighter shades can transform a space, making it feel more open and bright. At Advantage Painting Louisville, we specialize in helping Louisville homeowners achieve a fresh, new look by expertly covering dark walls with lighter, more vibrant tones. Here’s a glimpse into our process:
1. Surface Preparation Before applying any paint, we thoroughly clean the walls to remove dust, grime, and any loose paint. We then sand the surface lightly to create a smooth base, ensuring the new paint adheres well.
2. Priming One of the most critical steps in painting over dark colors is using a high-quality primer. We apply a stain-blocking primer to prevent the dark color from bleeding through. Depending on the darkness of the original color, we may use more than one coat to achieve a uniform base.
3. Multiple Coats of Paint After the primer has dried, we carefully apply the lighter paint color. It usually requires at least two coats to cover the dark color completely. We use high-quality paints that offer excellent coverage and durability, ensuring a smooth and even finish.
4. Detailed Touch-Ups Once the final coat is applied and dried, our team inspects the walls for any imperfections. We perform touch-ups as needed, ensuring the lighter shade looks flawless.
5. Final Inspection At Advantage Painting Louisville, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We conduct a thorough final inspection with the homeowner to ensure the results meet their expectations.
