We learned a few things while researching how to paint this semi-outdoor space, as well as working through the process. I’d like to share them with you here.
– Paint with the door open for ventilation whenever possible.
– Get help! It’s a big project!
– Let cure overnight before moving anything back into the space.
– Expect to do 3 coats. 1 of primer and 2 of paint, or 3 coats of paint if you don’t use primer. This also may differ based on the quality of your paint. As far as paint goes, I’ve found that you pay for what you get.
