Painting - Excluding a second coat of paint, repercussions?

I've painted a room and foolishly split some paint, it is rather expensive paint and i am simply wondering if a second coat of paint truly matters. I have been told it does and does not.





What are the benefits of a second coat of paint? I am please with the way the room looks currently.Painting - Excluding a second coat of paint, repercussions?
The condition of the wall that you painted over is a factor. The quality of the fresh paint is important. Even the ';One Coat'; paints marketed often need a second coat in order to achieve an even finish.





The two main reasons for doing two coats are 1. To achieve a visually consistent and opaque finish uniformly covering the wall. 2. For protection and durability.





The guarantees/warranties stipulate applying two coats for best results.





If the coat of paint that you covered was in good condition and the wall was sealed it is mainly a matter of covering the original color.





As long as the coat looks good to you it will be fine in most rooms that do not receive a lot of aggressive wear.





Kitchens, bathrooms and children's areas need the best paint because they are subjected to temperature shifts, high humidity, grease, water splashes, condensation, hand contact, crayons and the like, etc.





Also, if you ever run out of paint when you have a custom color mixture you do not need to start from scratch repainting the entire room. Just purchase enough additional paint to complete the entirety of the incomplete walls. Light hits every wall differently. Each wall is at a different angle to the light. Each wall in a room appears to be a slightly different color even when painted with a single batch of a color mixture. Slight differences in the color mixtures will not be noticeable as long as complete walls are painted using the same batch.





This may be a no brainer to some however people do think they must repaint the whole room if they have run out of a custom mixed paint.Painting - Excluding a second coat of paint, repercussions?
Two coats is usually preferred, simply to help cover wear and tear on the wall; simply put, the more paint on the wall the less wears off when you clean it.





Mostly, two coats is done to cover the existing paint. Darker colors over lighter usually can get by with one coat, but lighter over darker almost always takes two.
hello, if you are pleased with the outcome then leave it..but....a second or even third coat brings out the true paint color
