Paint and Wallpaper FAQs

PAINT FAQs

  • Sample pots are available only in eggshell, our most popular finish.

  • Product documents can be supplied on request by calling (804) 967-3103 or email us at info@bridgetbeari.com

  • We offer flat, eggshell, high-gloss, and semi-gloss paint finishes in all of our Bridget Beari Colors.

  • Water-based paint is formulated to resist moisture, staining, and wear and tear.

  • Eggshell or semi-gloss provides more protection for the walls due to the moisture in a bathroom.

  • We suggest semi-gloss for the durability and sheen.

  • Preparation is important. Glossy surfaces will not take a second layer of paint well, so they need cleaning, sanding and additional cleaning with a damp cloth or a tack cloth. Use a primer before putting down the latex paint. While advisable for many painting projects, a primer is a requirement for this one. If you have multiple layers of oil-based paint, consider scraping off the paint first.

Application

  • Our Paint is a 2-in-1 primer + wall paint mix. It is always a good idea to prime over strong or dark colors, especially if you are going to a lighter color. A primer is also needed if you suspect your trim of having any oil paint.

  • The average coverage is 400 square feet, which is equivalent to a small space like a powder room.

  • We definitely recommend a base coat of a similar hue if you are covering a large area. It also depends on the intensity of the color. Higher intensity than we suggest a base coat so the area is fully saturated.

  • We always recommend two coats, but with some of the darker colors, you may need three coats.

  • Yes, we are lucky enough to partner with FPE as well. Any of our wall paint (except Metallics) can be mixed in any of the FPE paints. Call Fine Paints of Europe to order!

  • We give a portion of all sales of the paint and wallpaper to local and national animal rescue and care groups.

WALLPAPER FAQs

  • 5 1/2 Yards ( 33 Sq. Ft )

  • To estimate the amount of wallpaper you need for a room, start by measuring the length and height of each wall in feet with a tape measure. Once you've recorded the length and height of the wall, multiply them together to get your wall's surface area in square feet. Repeat this for each wall in the room.
