Hi folks!
Advice needed for an newbie DIY-er! I've been trying to over paint the walls in the hall with magnolia however I'm having problems properly covering the previous colour. Even 3 coats later the previous colour can be seen peeking through...
The previous colour is homebase deeptones atlantis water based vinyl silk emulsion (according to a paint tin found in the garage).
I've been using dulux magnolia luxurious silk and I'm not impressed by it's ability to cover up the previous colour - it seems to be going on too thin.
Or am I doing something wrong? Should I have perhaps used a 1-coat paint?
If it wasn't for all the doors in the hall (upstairs and downstairs) I'd probably just continue rollering on more coats until it was covered but with the edges to the door frames needing careful brush work this is becoming a real bind!
Any help appreciated!
