Ways To Paint Over Dark Walls With Lighter Paint

It’s a challenging job to paint over a dark wall with a lighter hue without the base layer's hue showing through and changing the new effect. However, it's not as hard as you might imagine and can be done by our Neo by Nippon Paint experts.

How Do You Cover Dark Paint With Light Paint?

Professional home painters from Neo by Nippon Paint select a high-quality paint roller and tray, white primer (not grey), caulk, or spackle for any wall damage that has to be fixed, and then proceed with the following steps:

• Fill any holes in the wall with caulk or spackle and smooth the surface after using it, depending on how big the holes are. Ensure that the wall surface is as even and smooth as you can.

• When painting, one of the most frequent mistakes individuals make is forgetting to prime. It's crucial to use a white primer before applying a light color over a dark one. Grey primer would be used if you were painting over light colors with dark ones, which is the opposite of what you would do.

• Use wide 'M' or ''W'-shaped rollers. This guarantees even surface coverage by indicating the areas that need to be filled in.

• Touchup and second coat
