Why Are 2 Coats of Paint Imperative on the Exterior of Your Home?

Kansas City Painting Professionals

1. Better Coverage

The First coat often gets absorbed unevenly, especially on porous surfaces like wood or stucco.

The Second coat ensures full, even color and hides any inconsistencies, primer spots, or previous colors.

As a realtor for many years in Kansas City, I’ve worked with numerous contractors throughout the various trades needed when preparing a house to buy or sell.

Blake Cockrum, owner of Royal Painting KC, is among the small minority that consistently provides great communication, timely quotes, reliable service, and quality work. I’ve enjoyed working with him on multiple jobs and he remains my go-to painter.

2. Improved Durability

Two coats create a thicker barrier, which better resists:

UV rays

Moisture

Temperature fluctuations

Physical wear

This added layer extends the life of the paint job by several years.

3. Enhanced Color Depth and Appearance

The final color is more vibrant, true to the swatch, and uniform with two coats.

A single coat can look dull, streaky, or patchy.

We are long time clients of Blake & Jen. They are truly incredible people! They are honest and have integrity, qualities that are lacking in so many people/businesses these days. I felt it the first time I talked to Blake by phone. Meeting both Jen & Blake in person for the first time was like meeting up with old friends. They were just that comfortable, friendly and familiar.

They do what they say, when they say they’ll do it. They absolutely, hands down, care about their customers.

4. Stronger Adhesion

The second coat bonds better to the cured first coat than it would directly to bare or primed surfaces.

This helps prevent peeling, chipping, and flaking over time.

Our Commercial Clients benefit from Royal Painting’s commitment to quality and integrity in all our jobs. Our 2 Coat Guarantee ensures minimum downtime for your business and minimal customer interruption.

5. Manufacturer Warranty Requirements

Many paint manufacturers require two coats to honor their warranty.

Applying only one coat might void it, even if a primer was used.

Royal painting delivered a bid quickly. It was comparable to one bid we were able to get. We went with Royal due to response time. They did an excellent job! They stuck to their timeline and the budget. When I was unsure of the color I picked the reassured me that it would look great at the end. We were going from brown to blue. Boy were they right! I love the look of our house now! They did a wonderful job of cleaning up after themselves too!
