Thanks!

Steven and Chris say:

• We think that you have to paint this space; there is actually no option here. It doesn't matter what you put into this space, it will always have a looming pink striped wall. Pink and red are the hardest colours to cover when it comes to painting, so we have two options for you from which to choose:  There will be two paints to demonstrate - you will both have a piece of board painted with the light and dark pink stripe.
  
  1. Paint and Primer in One - Should only take one coat -
  
  • Cost on average is $40 - $50 per gallon
  • Most paint companies have come out with this "advanced technology" with greater molecular structures that results in a denser, harder, more durable paint film
  • With the new paint and primer in one, you should only require one coat to cover any wall.
    
    2. Good Ol' Primer - Will require two cans of paint (primer and wall colour)
    • Cost on average is between $20 - $30
    • The main function of priming is to ensure that any successive layers of paint adhere to the surface properly.
    • Priming before painting helps to provide coverage on your wall to eliminate the need for multiple coats of your final wall colour
