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 see
• Wet hide versus Dry hide – not the same things

2) 2 COATS GIVE BETTER LONG TERM RESULTS

• Better Color Representation → Better Look
• Better Durability, washability, etc.

3) IT'S MORE CONVENIENT TO DO IT NOW . . . 

• Furniture’s moved
• Drop cloths are down
• Tape is applied
• Your 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 FASTER

• You’re not cutting in again
• You’re not doing all the prep
• You’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 coat
• They tend to apply paint far too heavily!
• Runs, sags, and overall mess usually follow
• Planning on two coats right from the start means you apply paint correctly with each coat!
