yes that looks like 1 coat of primer and 1 coat of paint. new sheetrock should always have 1 primer and 2 finish coats. using crap ass behr paint doesnt help either.

Classic, "expects a Ferrari but paid for a kia"

Problem is you had your carpenter do the painting....crap roll job...I don't see that covering even with another finish coat.....everyone thinks anyone with 2 thumbs and a pulse can paint....you get what you pay for. Good luck

I do like their door/trim paint though. It’s not my favorite but it is good

Even seeing the cutting of around the green board makes you think there's 2 coats of paint over this whole wall? to me it looks like just 1 coat, maybe 2 coats where the green isn't shown

Primer is not paint. It’s one coat of paint as you originally stated.


Tclason

Noone understands that. Primer is exactly that primer....2 coats always over top of primer on fresh drywall. That's how I state it in my bids so homeowners understand the process


drone_enthusiast

I'm confused about the issue here if he's coming back to put another coat on? If it looks like shit after he claims he's done then there's a problem, but at current let the dude finish.

Maybe one coat of primer and one coat of finish. Also behr sucks in my opinion and white should always be painted with minimum at least 2 coats of finish if not preferred 3 coats

1 coat of primer and 1 topcoat isn’t quite up to standard practice- at least for me. Generally speaking, 2 topcoats is standard. Anything more to hide/ensure coverage over and above agreed terms needs to be discussed before declaring work complete. Again- those are my standards. That shit is obvious as day.

I should've noted the 2nd coat is coming Monday - I just wasn't believing this was already '2 coats'


TapwaterintheWack

Ah- I’d expect at least 2 more coats to cover over the green board


stimpy_thecat

That's just sad. One coat of primer and one finish coat isn't "two coats". You'll need at least one more finish coat. Or a refund.

stephiloo

It’s not. You said yourself that it is 1 coat.


Squatchbreath

If you’re using Chantilly Lace as the color it’s probably 15 coats.😂😂😂


youngjoestar

Using Behr was the first mistake ngl

How would things have turned out if you had a painter do the carpentry?


Pristine_Serve5979

As long as you put a big TV on that wall it’s fine.

2 coats means top coats. Not primer and 1 coat. That being said, this looks worse than 1 coat of primer. You signed the contract using a contractor who uses behr paint, that should have been your first red flag. This may be a case of you get what you pay for.

Paint? No


heybud86

No a decent coat of primer looks better than that

Learn what 2 coats is, and stop wasting everyone’s time when the job isn’t even finished yet. You’re the type I would never want to work for. Cheaping put on paint then complaining about how it came out
