Hello, herer I go again starting a new thread. Its true that i have quite a bit of questions, but im new to this site and i am eager to know how other people do their job.
This question is about applying 2 finish coats.
Do you guys apply 2 finish coats to every paint job religiously? or only in certain situations.
Me personally, I apply a second coat only when the first coat did not cover well. One example would when i am applying a dark color over a light color, or an extremely light color over a dark color. when colors are both similar then one coat usually does the job.
However, what is your take on this?
i have seen houses that i have painted ten years ago with one coat of finish(a extremely good prep job of course) and they still look great.
I am asking this question because i always hear people saying "two coats is always better than one" Is this really true or are they just saying it to get more money out of the job?
