How long do you wait before applying the next coat?🤔
Yes! How long you wait before applying another coat of paint is REALLY important. Dry time only tells you the paint is ready to touch, but RECOAT time is when to apply the next layer of paint. If your paint doesn’t dry, you know you applied the paint too soon.😉 🖌️Get my beginner’s guide to painting furniture: #paintismagic #paint #painting #renovation #interiordesign #remodel #construction #homedecor #homeimprovement #homedesign

Best Way to Store Paint Brushes in Between Coats
YES! You can use the same technique for a roller too! If you store them in the refrigerator, just let them warm up a bit, before you start painting again. This little trick will save time not having to wash out brushes and money so you don’t have to toss your roller between coats of paint! #paintismagic #paint #paintguide #paintmakeover #diy #diyhomeprojects #diyhomedecorating #diyhomedecor #homehack #painthack #homehack

Paint Sheen
The higher you go in sheen (gloss), the darker it is. The lower you go in sheen (matte or flat), the lighter it is. Paint samples are typically a flatter finish and will look lighter versus the color you put on the wall! Make sure you are ok with the color even if it’s slightly darker than the sample you test. 🖌️Learn all about paint sheen here: #paintismagic #paintcolors #paint #paintwall
