A Poison peek-a-boo to YOU! Now won't you peek-a-boo me too?

Painting tomorrow...painting question

Good morning! Today is my friday so I put my 'I'm so happy it's Friday' avatar up

I'm going to paint tomorrow. I LOATHE painting. I'm not good at it. I painted the wall upstairs 1 1/2 year ago. I was going to do the room in a Mardi Gra theme so the wall is canary yellow. It's hideous. It took me 3 coats of paint to put yellow paint on a white wall and it still could use another paint. I did not put primer on it. Didn't think I  needed to.

Tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to paint my daughters room. She's on vacation and her three choice colors are very light green, pink, or lavender. I thought I'd pick two of those and go for it.

I see the commercials that some paint only needs to be put on the wall one time for complete coverage. Does that mean I have to put primer on the wall?? I don't want the same thing to happen to her room as the yellow room. And incidentally, I'm going to paint over the yellow also so do I need to do anything special?

Ugh...does anyone want to come and paint my wall for me? I will not pay for the plane ticket but I will buy you a case of wine or a case of corona.

Buy a really good quality paint... Like Sherwin Williams...

and to be totally honest, I have never used a "1-coat" paint that actually covers 100% the first coat.

You could use a primer to help the 1-coat process, but I alwways thought it was double duty.... Cause I still covered with two top coats anyway...

But what the hell do I know.....

Corona with you????? hhhhhmmmmmm
