We 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?

But that is acrylic paint. I would only use silicate paintAnd I think the general contractor/painter does not intend to use that anyway...

I painted our unfinished basement walls with Sto white paint. This paint is absolutely amazing; one coat was enough to fully cover the concrete. Until now, I had only known about regular hardware store paint. What is the exact name of it?

So far, the walls look good, but the ceilings, especially in the attic where drywall is installed, still show some "light-dark" shading. According to the general contractor, one coat of paint is specified in the contract. However, in my opinion, it must be fully opaque. We included the painting service in the contract so that we wouldn't have to repaint later... Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to me.

1–2 coats of RELIUS SILAT BIO INNEN, undiluted or diluted up to 3%
The ability to retouch depends on several parameters. Please also refer to the BfS information sheet No. 25. We recommend extensive retouching.As the manufacturer usually advises, 1–2 coats.
How was the primer applied?
