What do I do now?

Question

I painted my bathroom a dark red. I used a red tinted primer, which dried overnight. I applied two coats of red paint. I removed the painters tape too early, and one whole section of paint just peeled right off, including the primer.

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

As a finish interior contractor I would recommend not using the tape. Either some paint gets under it, or what happened to you happens. I only use tape if I'm painting a room with different colors in a pattern, such as stripes. Otherwise, get a good quality brush, like a two inch brush, with an angle cut on the end, and cut it in. Don't load a lot of paint on the bristles, and only dip the brush in the paint an inch or so and tap off the excess paint. Keep a wet rag handy if you make an error. With a little practice you'll find it's not too tough, just take your time. You'll be saving the time of having to mask off things anyway.

Answer 2

sounds like either a cheap quality latex paint or the surface was of poor quality. Taking the tape off before it is dry is a good idea in my opinion, that way no paint peels away.

Answer 3

do this to the whole room diffrent shades of red can look quite good in a room. u could do abstract witch is all kinds of weird shapes and things u just mess around with he wall andput any paint where ever ( make sure there colours u like) lol
or u could peel it all of and try again but wait a little longer first good luck :D
