1. Entry 003Repainting Previously Painted Interior Walls

   • S / Substrate + P / Product: Remove failure. Repair. Spot-prime.

     For this full-repaint scope, my usual sequence is repair first, then spot-prime.

   • A / Application + T / Tools: Apply two consistent finish coats

     I generally brush the cut-ins and roll repaints. In suitable empty spaces, I may spray and back-roll. After preparation and spot-priming, apply two finish coats, observing the selected coating's drying and recoat instructions.

2. Entry 009Choosing the Right Primer

   • P / Product: Match the primer to the problem

     Situation: Ordinary porous drywall patches, without stains or torn facing · My usual approach: Spot-prime with a suitable water-based interior primer or PVA. · Selection checkpoint: Confirm suitability for the patch and finish paint. Sound surrounding paint does not automatically need full priming.
