Interior Paint Guide is a free service that connects homeowners with local interior painters and painting companies. We are not a painting contractor and we do not perform the work ourselves.
Two coats is standard for most interior walls and gives even color and full coverage. One coat may work when repainting a similar color with a paint-and-primer product. Big color changes, painting over a dark shade, or covering new drywall usually need a primer plus two coats for a uniform finish.
