How to Cover Dark Paint Colors

Painting over dark colors can seem daunting, but with the right preparation and tools, it can be a smooth and easy process. Here are some tips to help you achieve a beautiful, professional-looking finish.

Preparation is crucial. To cover a dark wall with a lighter shade, start with a high-quality primer. This creates a uniform base, ensuring the new color goes on smoothly and covers the old one effectively.

Pick a high-density foam roller. These rollers are perfect for applying paint smoothly and evenly. Good tools lead to professional results.

Multiple coats may be necessary. Don’t be surprised if it takes two or three coats to get the bright look you’re after. Take the time to let each coat dry before applying the next one.

Invest in quality paint. Higher-quality paints offer better coverage and durability. Good paint ensures a long-lasting finish.
