- PAINT APPLICATION |
By far, the best approach is to apply at least two coats of paint to
all surfaces . In some cases a third coat may be needed. If you are on
a budget, it is possible to apply only one coat of a special, thicker
paint.
MyHome recommends two brands of paints - Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams. Benjamin Moore is readily available and can be found in Janovic stores throughout Manhattan. It is the more recognized brand in the tri-state area and it offers more finishes. Should you want to look at color swatches, you can find them easily in your local paint store. Sherwin Williams is also a great national brand but it is not easy to find in local stores. If you want to save money on paint, it is a great option since it can cost up to 40% less than Benjamin Moore.
Once you've chosen the color, you'll need to select a finish. Generally, ceilings are painted with a flat finish. Bathrooms, kitchens and trim are painted with semi-gloss since it is more durable and easier to clean. Semi-gloss is not recommended for walls other than in kitchens and bathrooms because it highlights every imperfection. Walls in other rooms can be painted other finishes you like. The most popular flat finish is eggshell. Special finishes such as pearl and satin are beautiful but are significantly more expensive.
