How many coats of paint do I need? Generally, you will want a minimum of Two coats of paint – this is a good rule of thumb for any wall or ceiling you’re painting. You’ll rarely get a seamless finish from just one coat of paint, and even if you do, coverage isn’t the only goal when it comes to painting a room.
After your first coat of paint is dry, it’s safe to recoat typically after four to six hours. A good rule of thumb is to wait at least three hours to recoat your paint or primer if it’s water-based. Waiting 24 hours is best for oil-based paint and primer.
For painting wall edges, it is best to paint the edges first, then paint the rest of the wall surface with a paint roller. There are two ways to paint wall edges near the ceiling. You can either use a paint edger device or use a good-quality angled paintbrush.
