Q: How many coats if I want to paint light colours over dark?
A: You may need 2-3 coats for deeper colours, with a drying time of 4-6 hours between coats. Or apply a coat of the undercoat primer Auro 505 first, and then 1-2 coats of Auro 555 as normal.
Tips or a perfect painting result: Paint the carefully masked edges and corners, and immediately afterwards paint the rest of the area with a roller. Apply the paint liberally and always work to a wet edge. Two coats will suffice if applied in this way.
