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?

Brought Sto Latex. I think it’s called StocrylPersonally, I wouldn’t apply Stocryl directly on interior walls because
- it is not intended for living areas or rooms used like living spaces according to the definition in the regional building code/planning regulations

You would do everything differently than I would anyway.I would just consider carefully beforehand which product names I mention and recommend. Especially when pointing out that you have a master painter on board who knows what he’s doing.
Opticryl is actually quite different from stocryl.
The questioner asked about latex and experience with it; it doesn’t matter whether it comes from Sto, Maleco, Brillux, or others. I didn’t say it was called Stocryl, but I think that was the name. Anyone browsing Sto.de will probably find Opticryl, or can go to Bauhaus and buy the latex they stock.
And I don’t have a professional painter at hand; the mentioned M. is my biological brother.

No worries, it’s not as complicated as it seems. For my wife and me, this is all new territory too, and with all the terminology, it’s easy to get confused.
Forums like this one are, in my opinion, meant for exchanging information, getting advice from people who have had good or less good experiences, and sharing your own experiences with others.
However, blindly trusting every recommendation isn’t a good idea. You need to question the answers and find the best approach for yourself from the various options.
In this case, it’s about the idea of painting wet rooms with a washable paint that handles moisture well. We need to consider how this works on lime-cement plaster with a Q2 finish or whether we should apply a renovation fleece on the walls first.

Hello forum,
I can’t really offer advice because I actually need some myself. Spring is just around the corner, and a few rooms need a fresh coat of paint. Unfortunately, I had a bit of bad luck last time. The house dates back to 1976, and one wall is also the exposed side facing the weather. I had problems with coverage in the corners on this wall, although I can rule out moisture issues. I had to paint these areas multiple times. Is there any solution, such as insulating paint, that could help achieve better coverage here? I would appreciate any advice.
P.S. The walls are covered with a textured wallpaper (Raufasertapete).
