Room Linen
Thursday, November 20th, 2008Room Linen
If I want to repaint a room...how many cans of paint would I need? Check below for more info?
The original color is 2 coats of linen white, about 10 years old.
I would like some advise on how many cans of linen white to buy for a room that is 20x20.
Also, do I need to remove the previous paint, prime it, sand it...etc ? Or can I just put 2 NEW coats on the existing linen white, or off white.
The existing is flat, and the linen white is flat...will i need to prime? Or can I just spackle over the existing paint, then put 2 coats of the new paint on top. I'm a rookie, sorry for the newb question. Thanks !!
First off, you want to use a product called DAP, fill in any holes or small cracks from pictures. If you have pictures hanging now and want to rehang after painting, get yourself some tooth picks and keep them handy. Now every brand of paint is different. there coverage that is. It will tell you how many square feet one can covers. a 20x20 room is 800 square feet this is a little more due to the fact that i have no idea how high your ceiling is. To get the exact figure, you multiply the room height by the wall length, then multiply by 4.
now that your ready to paint, for best results you should use a stainblocking primer first. let this cure overnight, then apply your color choice. by the time your done with the entire room you should be ready to recoat.
For more info your home depot has some wonderful reading material on painting. and tons of tips for keeping it clean and easy.
Tooth picks work great to stick in the existing picture holes you don't want covered. this way you don't have to add new holes.
