Do I have to prime over dark brown paint if I am using a sage green over it? It is on the outside of my house.
I am thinking of painting the trim on my house. It is currently dark brown, and I want it to be a sage green. The brown is in good shape yet so can I just paint over that with the green or do I have to prime it?
Since you’re not painting bare wood or metal, the primer would actually be wasted. Save it for actual priming. Get a “blockout” paint, such as Kilz, or simply good quality white or even yellow. This will lighten the surface so the darker brown doesn’t bleed through, and chances are you’ll only need one coat of the green. Were you using something dark like a hunter green, then I’d say go ahead and paint it right over the brown. But sage green? Nope. The brown beneath would darken it.
Purple Smokey eyeshadow. Great for green/hazel/brown eyes.
