Do you need two coats of primer?

Using a good drywall primer may only require one coat, but two coats is ideal number here. A second coat covers up these flaws, as well as replenishing any primer from the first coat that was absorbed. Using a multi-purpose primer or self priming paint will require two coats for that desired finish.

Can you paint without primer?

Painting Damaged Drywall and New Wood
When you're repainting a wall just to change the color, you can usually omit the primer; the existing paint seals the wallboard, and you should get even coverage and satisfactory adhesion. Without the primer, the smoke or water spots may bleed through the topcoat.

Can you wait too long between coats of paint?

Yes you can wait to long, if you leave it for too long the paint can get weathered when painting outside and the paint can breakdown. it is advised to wait no more then a month between coats at a max. Because if you leave it any longer it may deteriorate. Exterior surfaces are the most vulnerable in this case.

Do you cut in on second coat?

If the first coat covered well, nothing showing through, then perhaps skip the cut-in. But if it covered that well, then maybe the second coat isn't needed. Since a second coat is desired or needed, yes, cut in again as well. Sure would hate to discover a second layer was needed after the paint dries.

What happens if you don't paint over primer?

Since primer's function is mainly to bond and cover porous surfaces, it is not made to withstand elements like paint. Because of this, if you leave primer without a top coat (or paint) it will deteriorate and break down, probably in a chalk like form.

Why are there roller marks after painting?

Roller marks are often caused buy a painter putting a second coat of paint on the wall before the first coat has completely dried. Using an improper size can result in paint becoming too sick as you work it over the wall. Another common problem is using the wrong style of brush.

Do you roll or cut in first when painting?

Cut in the corners before you roll paint on the main surfaces. This means painting both sides of each corner starting about two brush lengths away and painting in to the corner. Use a 2- or 3-inch brush for paints. You can cut-in around the trim either before or after rolling.
