How many coats of KILZ to cover Harley Davidson Orange?
No matter what you buy, you will probably need at least two and possibly three coats to fully cover a dark color with a light color. Priming the wall first will help, and it will be even better if you can get the paint store to put some white pigment in the primer for you. Use good quality brushes and rollers – Purdy makes good ones. And don’t skimp on the paint when you’re applying it. Trying to stretch the paint will only doom you to recoat. Get that roller as full of paint as you can without dripping on the way to the wall. Work in 3′-4′ square sections; make a big W with the roller, then roll it out side to side, then top to bottom to spread the paint out evenly over that section. Do a high section, then a low section, then (if you’re using a paint with a sheen) roll it out from ceiling to floor while both sections are still wet, to even out the roller marks and produce an even finish. htt
