I have a Room that one had a dark blue color. It had a slick finish (means oil paint i guess)?

I got this room painted with Royal Gold M006 color.

The Issue is, you can see that there is some dark paint in the background faintly (also feels like there are brush swipes here and there), what can be done about this? Everywhere it feels like there are brush strokes or like the paint is see through, the painter even put three coats.


I’m thinking the problem will be solved if he puts a coat of simple yellow on the wall and then puts the Royal Gold color on that wall. This way the inside blue cannot be seen.


I don’t see any blue per se, but it does seem like there was some paint in a darker color earlier.I think this problem is there because of the nature of the royal gold paint.


Please give your analysis of my problem.


The Painter:


1.Sandpapered the Dark Blue ( Looks like night) wall.


2.Added Primer


3.Applied the Royale Gold Color.


Please tell me how can I solve my problem .

WE have doors which have a Silk finish.
Reply:If you have already sanded and painted it,it may need a second or third coat.Dark blue can be a problem.I hope I understood your question.
Reply:when you put primer on dark colors have it tinted,this helps to cover,you can put white primer on blue it will come thru the best primer is kiltz it will go over oil paint .it i over paint a red room i tint my paint primer gray ask the experts an your local paint store
Reply:If there are visible brush strokes, sand the wall again. Use a primer with a greater percent of pigment and get it tinted yellow. Use two coats of primer and sand between coats. Repaint with the gold color. Using a textured roller to apply the paint may help hide the brush strokes.





Ask the painter to at least split the cost of the new labor with you since their first attempt at the job is unsatisfactory.
Reply:Part of the problem could be the type of finish you have chosen - high gloss- eggshell or semi-gloss might be more forgiving. It could also be what is under the paint will continue to show through - paraffin wax comes to mind. If you had this professionally done, it needs to be re-done on the professional's dime.
Reply:simply put, it needs another coat or two of the royal golden paint.yes, he probably should have applied two coats of primer but he didnt. dont make it into a bigger issue by repriming or recoating with another sheen just to recoat again. eh...just have him apply one more coat, dry then view, and if necessary, another coat. there must be proper drying between coats. hopefully your painter will do this for you at no cost. you may have to shell out a bit more for another gallon or two of paint.


relax, not a huge deal.
Reply:FIRST,DID THE PAINTER HAVE THE PRIMER TINTED TO THE NEW COLOR .THAT COULD POSSIBLY HELP,THEN APPLY THE ROYALE GOLD AND THAT SHOULD HELP ALOT. JUST REMEMBER WHEN YOUR TRYING TO COVER UP A VERY DARK COLOR MULTIPLE COATS ARE NECCESARY. AS FAR THE BRUSH MARKS JUST KEEP SANDING THE AREAS UNTIL IT FEELS AS SMOOTH AS THE REST OF THE WALL (GENTLY THOUGH)
Reply:at least 2 coats of primer should be expected to cover such a dark color.





your painter should have known this.
