Paint Quality vs Number of Coats: The Real Reason Your Walls Fade Fast

Some contractors reduce cost by using low-quality paint or diluting it too much. It looks good on day one but fades, stains, and peels quickly. Good painting is not about thick color—it’s about the right undercoat, wall preparation, and number of coats.

Insist on:

proper wall scraping and priming

moisture treatment where necessary

agreed number of coats

paint kept sealed and mixed properly

Ask to see the paint tins before mixing. It sounds small, but it stops substitution. Walls are the biggest surface in your home — cheap paint punishes you daily.
