We gathered a list of some of the most common myths, to help keep you informed. Keep reading to find out if you have heard any of these painting myths before.<\/p>\n<h2>Myth #1 \u2013 Using multiple coats of paint eliminates the need for primer<\/h2>\n<p>Priming is an extremely important step in the painting process and applying multiple coats of<br \/>\npaint will not do the job. Primer creates an even surface, so the paint goes onto the wall<br \/>\nflawlessly. It also ensures the paint will adhere properly and not begin to chip or peel later on<br \/>\ndown the line.<\/p>\n<h2>Myth #2 \u2013 If your walls are smooth and in good condition, you don\u2019t need to use primer<\/h2>\n<p>Although primer does create an even surface to paint on, it has other purposes as well. If you<br \/>\ndon\u2019t apply the primer, you are risking your paint not adhering as well. It will just enhance the<br \/>\noverall appearance of the paint job.<\/p>\n<h2>Myth #3 \u2013 You always need more than one coat of paint<\/h2>\n<p>The only time this may be necessary is if you are going from a dark shade to a lighter one. If this<br \/>\nis not the case and you are applying a primer first, don\u2019t waste your time applying more than<br \/>\none coat. One coat will do the job!<\/p>\n<h2>Myth #4 \u2013 You can use the same paint across multiple surfaces<\/h2>\n<p>Different types of paint are made for different types of surfaces. Interior wall paint should not<br \/>\nbe used on the exterior. There are also different types of paint for decks. Individual surfaces<br \/>\nrequire different formulas of paint. Always be sure to double check the labeling on your paint<br \/>\ncan and make sure you are using it on the correct surface.<\/p>\n<p>If you are painting your home and want professional help, we would be more than happy to<br \/>\nhelp.
