On Today's EpisodeJust Say No to One Coat! [00:00 - 6:25]We are people, too! We know how tempting it is try to squeak by with one coat of paint. Here are 5 quick reasons why you shouldn't do that! 1) ONE COAT MIGHT NOT LOOK AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!Lighting can affect what we seeWet hide versus Dry hide – not the same things

2) 2 COATS GIVE BETTER LONG TERM RESULTSBetter Color Representation → Better LookBetter Durability, washability, etc.

3) IT'S MORE CONVENIENT TO DO IT NOW . . . Furniture’s movedDrop cloths are downTape is appliedYour tools are out!Putting everything away now and finding you need a second coat just turned that one project into two projects!

4) SECOND COATS ARE WAY FASTERYou’re not cutting in againYou’re not doing all the prepYou’re just rolling that surface!

5) PLANNING ON A SECOND COAT CAN PREVENT YOU FROM MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE!When people PLAN on only doing one coatThey tend to apply paint far too heavily!Runs, sags, and overall mess usually followPlanning on two coats right from the start means you apply paint correctly with each coat!
