Why Orange Paint Won't Cover — Professional Solution
When bold accent colors like orange fail to cover after multiple coats, it's not always the painter's fault — sometimes it's a paint chemistry issue. In this video, D'Franco Painting & Wallpaper encountered a Sherwin-Williams Invigorate orange that refused to adhere properly, even after three to four coats of paint. The sample quart test actually made the existing wall color appear blue, signaling a deeper problem. Our team consulted with Sherwin-Williams reps and discovered the solution: a multi-purpose primer (Fresh Start) underneath, the same approach fire hydrant painters use when covering reds and yellows. Watch how we troubleshot this real job and what we did to fix it.
