I am preparing to paint over some extremely old wallpaper, and in the instructions they had a ';trick of the trade'; point and it plainly said: When you buy your primer have it tinted to half the amount of the same pigment you are having them put in your paint.What does it mean to tint your primer the same pigment as your paint?
When you buy paint, the store starts with a base, and adds the pigment to get the color you selected. So if you tell the store to add half the pigment, you will end up with a paint that is close to your finish coat, but slightly lighter so you will be a ble to tell the difference between the 2, when applying the finishWhat does it mean to tint your primer the same pigment as your paint?
Wellam is right on, but have you really thought of the consequences of painting over wallpaper?
