If your home\u2019s existing paint is still in pretty good condition and you are not planning to change colors, this is an inexpensive paint system that provides adequate protection.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; line-height: 20px;\"><em><strong>Spot Prime\/Two Finish Coats<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 As with the previous paint system, primer is only applied to prepared areas. However, two finish coats offer more protection if the existing finish paint is degraded or chalky. Additionally, a color change, however slight, usually requires two finish coats to ensure uniform coverage. <em>This paint system is an upgrade to the Spot Prime\/One Finish Coat system, provides more protection, lasts longer\u00a0and costs more due to the additional materials and labor required for the second finish coat.<\/em><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; line-height: 20px;\"><em><strong>Full Prime\/One Finish Coat<\/strong><\/em> \u2013\u00a0In some instances the level of degradation of the existing paint requires a full prime coat so that the finish coat has a solid base to adhere to. This primer coat can be tinted to match the finish coat and help it cover. Moderate color changes can usually be achieved with this paint system, but a second finish coat may be necessary in some instances or on some areas of your home.\u00a0<em>In specific situations, based on the existing paint\u2019s condition and other factors, this is the appropriate paint system as it allows the primer and paint to form a bond more appropriate than the bond between two finish coats. Its cost is comparable to the Spot Prime\/Two Finish Coats system.<\/em><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; line-height: 20px;\"><em><strong>Full Prime\/Two Finish Coats<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 This is a high performance paint system that is often most appropriate for new construction, renovations, or very some dramatic color changes. It usually last the longest of the paint systems listed, but comes with the associated costs of more materials and labor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Call us or <a style=\"font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"schedule painting estimate\" href=\"#estimate\" target=\"_self\"><em>click here<\/em><\/a> to schedule your free estimate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how selecting the right number of coats and appropriate primer\/paint combinations create durable, beautiful finishes The particular combination of primers and paints we apply (the\u00a0paint system)\u00a0is the coating that will shield your home from the elements.
