Your choice depends on your situation. \r\rThickness: The thickness of the paint layers also influences the dry time. Sometimes, while ensuring that the initial colour on the wall is covered perfectly, a coat may end up becoming thick and as a result, takes a longer time than usual to dry. \r\rWhen painting, at least two coats of paint is recommended for better results. Reasons are; a coat on a wall is just like a sketch on paper i.e uncompleted, not full, or solid. Oftentimes, to get the colour you want, you have to apply 2 - 3 coats of pains. There are two reasons to stick to this recommendation. \r\rDurability: paints with 2 or more coats last longer than a single coat painting. Generally speaking, a new home with 2 or more coat painting lasts +10 years while a coat painting barely lasts 4 years before it starts fading or looking rough. \r\rMaintenance: The most time-consuming and tedious period is when applying the first coat.

Roll and brush the surface of your wall.\r\rPro tip: maintain a consistent pattern when painting. Also, maintain a wet edge so that your roller can blend perfectly with the brushed corners. You can try out the W motion theory — paint in a W motion to ensure even and consistent painting. After the wall is finished, time to start on painting the cornice.\r\rAfter a consistent painting, try to lay off those portions before you continue. Laying-off is a term in painting that simply means putting some finishing touches on the initial paints just to ensure perfection on the wall surface.
