Two coats are always better than one inside or out. The paint job will last much longer and look better because you will not have the old color bleeding through.I have had to put as many as three coats of white on a house but rarely if a good quality paint is used. One is only good enough if you plan on moving in the near future and you using the same color. One thing I must stress is you need to use a high quality paint if you do not want to have it painted again for a long time. So the answer is you should put two coats on! www.martinbrotherspainting.com Chattanooga, Tennessee

Besides a few shades of black, white primer will reflect more light back than a gray primer under a paint color that doesn't cover well. Gray is often used under dark reds which would normally require several coats of paint to cover, The lighi that would normally be reflected from a white primer underneath the paint is, instead, absorbed by the gray primer, giving the illusion of an opaque surface. White primer is used under any light paint that covers well. It can also be tinted to the color of many off white or pastel wall colors to help ensure coverage using fewer coats.

To paint a house in the 1800's was very expensive and a whole house painted white would have stood out in undeveloped Washington DC. People began to refer to it as the "White House" so it came in general usage.
