Question

If ur painting a room with three walls of the same color and one darker wall which one do you paint first?

Answer 1

I did the darker one first when I did it in my house. 3 walls are tan. One wall is RED.Use that blue tape...it will look great!

Answer 2

It really doesn't matter. Of course, if you are really clutzy, I would suggest painting the dark wall first, in case you splatter a lot of paint, the lighter color would be easier to cover on the dark wall. The trick is to use a good 2 1/2 " cutting brush, it will have bristles cut on a 45 degree angle to cut your corners with. Let the brush do the work, and cut about a 2" swath out from the corner into your dark wall. Tape if you must, but remember when you pull the tape off, pull it at an angle, toward the wall you just painted so it will keep any paint from running on to the adjacent wall.

Answer 3

Do the lighter ones first-the darker will cover any over spray/brushing. HELLO? A DARKER COLOR DOES NOT COVER EASIER WITH A LIGHTER PAINT, period, end of story
