Applying multiple coats of paint is often necessary to achieve a uniform, vibrant finish and ensure proper coverage. The first coat may not adequately hide the underlying surface or color, especially with lighter shades over darker ones. Additional coats help enhance durability, improve adhesion, and provide a smooth, even appearance. Moreover, some surfaces may absorb more paint, requiring extra layers for an optimal result.

How do you paint kendama?

I personally use water based acrylic because of it's easy use and light wight. Oil based would work just as well, but will add more weight. One important thing when using water based paints is to have a good base coat of acrylic medium or gesso. This is needed because the wood will soak the water out of the paint and it will chip easier. The base coat is only necessary if you're painting on a bare wood grain Kendama ball. If you still have the original coat of paint, sand it down slightly so the acrylic paint will have more to hold on to. After applying the base coat of acrylic medium or gesso give it time to fully dry and set up, paint on your acrylic paint (2-3 coats, giving time for each coat to dry), and BE SURE to follow up with a semi-gloss polyurethane spray top coat (2-3 even applications of the spray, giving each coat 2 hours before applying the next). Let the kendama sit 24-48 hours until the polyurethane sets up. If you want more shine to the ball, you can use full gloss polyurethane.

Why would a new coat of chlorinated rubber pool paint cause peeling?

2 possibilities. First, if the previous paint wasn't rubber (ie epoxy), it will peel. ...or if this was the first coat, was it primed? Second and more likely, poor surface prep. Insufficient dry times before and after paint, acid residual, improper paint mixing, etc.

To paint paneling to look like drywall, start by cleaning and sanding the paneling to create a smooth surface. Apply a coat of primer to help the paint adhere better.

Optional: add texture with a sponge or brush for a more realistic drywall appearance.

How many liter of paint can cover a 12.15 square meter?

Paint coverage depends on the type of paint (acrylic, alkyd, enamel, latex, etc.), the texture and absorbency of the surface to be painted, and the type of application (brush, roller, or spray). A first coat of paint usually requires more paint than a second or third coat because it reduces absorbency by making the surface smoother. Most paint manufacturers specify coverage for their paint to be somewhere around 8.6 square meters per liter, so it would probably take about 1.5 liters to cover 12.15 meters with a single coat.
