BenutzerPC29 Dec 2018 17:27We have a thin coat render at 1mm (0.04 inches) and non-woven wallpaper on the ceilings and sloped roof sections. It is white and has no texture. Wherever there is drywall, the green color is still visible. Our general contractor contract includes only one coat of paint. The painter has now offered, without any self-interest, a quote for a second coat. I would have liked to see whether one coat provides sufficient coverage. I think it will work on the plaster, as it already looks good. But what about one coat on the green drywall panels? I would have preferred to inspect it first and then possibly commission a second coat. The costs are not insignificant, but the painter said I should let him know now so he can plan and order the paint straight away. I think he wants to put pressure on me and might be trying to earn some extra money. Maybe the general contractor negotiated too hard. What do you think? Is one coat enough?
Hello,
that really depends on the type of paint used. With good quality paint, one coat is usually enough. With typical “hardware store paints,” people often apply two coats.
However, there are exceptions. I now only use “professional paint” that I get through a painter friend. It costs a few extra euros per bucket but provides perfect coverage.

BenutzerPC29 Dec 2018 17:37Since a professional is doing the work, he said he only uses "good" paint. What else would he say... but I would assume that’s true.

Caspar202029 Dec 2018 18:07Good, not very good. There are few colors that are sufficient with just one coat according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
For example, if you look at Caparol, there are 3-4 price levels for the contractor, each corresponding to different quality levels.
They will not voluntarily buy Indeko Plus, especially if they have already given you a quote for two coats.

I can definitely recommend Polarweis from schöne Wohnen.
It’s available at Bauhaus in a 25-liter (6.6 gallon) bucket, and the price per liter is really reasonable. But that is emulsion paint. I would only use silicate paint.
