Looking at user comments, it seems that the brand of paint you choose will make a difference as to how many coats of paint you will need to get the results (depth or evenness of color). The accent paint will be the lighter color of the two. Evermore or Valspar were recommended.

How do you touch up ceiling paint?

It helps to have the same paint that was used to paint the ceiling in the first place. Next best option is knowing the exact color and product the paint was in. Next to impossible is buying a can of "ceiling paint" and using that. There are way to many different shades and sheens of ceiling paint to guess. Thin out the paint approx one ounce of water or thinner, depending on the paint base, to eight ounces of paint. Brush or roll the area that is being touched up, then feather out the edges of the paint so that it blends into the existing paint. Feather out means to spread the paint along the edge of the touch up area into the surrounding area so that the touch up doesn't have a hard edge.


Is lacquer paint better than acrylic paint?

They both serve their own purposes so it depends on what your doing. Acrylic paint is more for typical painting, while lacquer paint is more for stuff that you want to have a hard, durable finish. So it depends on what you're using it for.


What is the difference from base paint and semi gloss latex paint?

Base paint is also known as flat paint, or flat wall paint, or matt paint and is a latex paint. Flat paint is just that, flat or dull with no sheen at all. Semi-gloss is an enamel that dries very hard and can be found in a low sheen (satin) a medium sheen (semi-gloss) and a high sheen (high gloss) Flat paint is usually used on walls and ceilings where as semi-gloss is used in kitchens, bathrooms, doors an jambs because it helps hold back the inherent moisture in those areas.


Do you have to sand and prime latex paint to paint over with water base paint?

I use a product called TSP. I wash the walls really good and then If any chips or dents I sand down that area, If they are a dark color you might want to seal it with a sealer so you don't have to use as much paint to hide the color, but for the most part you do not have to prime of they are in good shape
