Repainting LR want to take down curtains to patch and prime holes BF wants to do it after. What is right?

Question

I want to make sure its done right. He says we can go back and patch and prime and repaint just that area after we have already painted the room. I think it would look silly... PLZ help what is the right way?

Answer 1

you always patch and repair the walls before you paint  , no one in their right mind would do it afterwards

Answer 2

All the prep work should be done before you paint. It looks more professional. Tell him not to be so anxious to see the wall color.

Answer 3

What you are describing is called prep work. All PREPARATION (prep) needs to be done to 'prepare' for the painting.

If BF still is being ignorant &/or stubborn, when you go buy the paint, ask the salesperson how it should be done.
