Painting the interior and exterior of your house can be a great way to give your property a fresh new look. Still, as with all home improvements, it's smart to learn a couple of tips and tricks before you begin so your paint job not only ends up looking beautiful, but also doesn’t cost you a hefty sum to complete. The team at JD Painting & Decorating has been providing Hawaii residents with expert interior and exterior painting services for over 20 years.

Here, these indoor painting pros offer three tips to help you make completing that paint job easy on your wallet:

• Test The Colors You Like Before Making A Final Decision: No matter how nice a shade may look in the showroom, it could appear completely different in your room or on the outside of your house. To make sure you don’t paint your property one color only to have to start over once you realize you hate it, get a sample bucket from the store and paint a small square on your wall. 
• Always Buy Paint From A Trusted Brand Name: While you may think you are saving money by going with a discount brand, paying for the slightly more expensive and higher-quality buckets will prolong the life of your paint job and save you the hassle of redoing everything in only a few years’ time. Whether you're doing interior or exterior painting, going for the brand-name label is the best option.

  

• If You Put Primer On First, You Won’t Have To Buy As Much Paint: First-time painters often put several coats of paint on the walls in an attempt to completely cover the old shade, but laying down paint primer initially often results in you needing only two coats of paint at the most. If the color you are using is slightly darker than the current shade, tint the primer with a couple of drops of it so you aren’t painting over a totally white surface.
