One big question that many homeowners have when taking on a DIY painting project is how much paint they will need. And, the answer isn’t always the same. Sometimes it depends on the texture of the walls because some surfaces can absorb a lot more paint than others. And, it also depends on the existing colour on the walls. Dark colours are going to require more paint to cover it, especially if you are repainting the walls a lighter colour.

In this video, you will see a short demo on the proper technique for taking down old wallpaper. If you can get a corner started, often you can take down the wallpaper in full sheets.
