To paint over a dark color on a wall, follow these steps:

  1. Clean the wall surface to remove any dirt or dust.
  2. Apply a primer to the wall to create a smooth base for the new paint.
  3. Choose a light-colored paint that is specifically designed to cover dark colors.
  4. Use a roller or brush to apply the paint in even strokes, starting from the top and working your way down.
  5. Allow the paint to dry completely before applying a second coat if needed.

Usually a second or sometimes third coat will cover the white show-through. If you later on wish to change the dark color to a light color, you will definitely need to primer the wall probably with two coats before bringing the color back up to a lighter color.


Wall that has been sponged a mauve color I'm painting over it with a dark beige color can i use a white primer or should i have my primer tinted?

As long as the original paint is intact, you do not even need a primer. The advantage about using a primer is that it might help to hide the old color easier, but you will have to buy the primer AND the paint that you like. Is the existing paint latex? Is the new paint latex? Is there any bare drywall? Unless there is something that we don't know, I would just buy enough paint to paint the wall 2 coats. If you want to prime it, you can have the primer tinted a little to get you closer to the color that you have chosen, but it will be more trouble and work than is necessary.
