How to Paint Over Orange Walls?

My father had mistakenly painted my room orange, and I have been staying in the room for the last few years. I’ve had enough, and I planned to paint the room on my own. I looked up how to paint over orange walls and came to know that using a high-quality primer is necessary. Along with that, it is also necessary to use a darker colour to hide the colour properly.

How to Paint Over Bright Orange Walls?

For painting the orange walls, I started by gathering all the required materials, such as a paintbrush, primer, old cloth, etc. Here is how I painted the walls. 

1. I started by cleaning the walls to remove the dust and debris from the walls. For this, use an old cloth. 

2. After that, spread some newspaper beneath the wall that I was about to paint. 

3. Next was to apply the primer on the walls. For this step, use a roller and a paintbrush. 

4. The first coat of primer was not enough, so I waited for it to dry before applying another coat over it. 

5. Finally, I painted the wall with a colour of my choice, which was Grey. 

This is how I could paint the bright orange walls of my room. You can follow these steps to repaint the orange walls in your house as well. I hope this helps.

We had our living room painted orange, but last year, we decided to change the colour and consulted with a painter about how to paint over orange walls. That is when we learned that a series of steps need to be followed to paint over orange walls, and a good and light shade primer is the most important thing that needs to be used. I observed his working process and simply loved the outcome. Since you asked, let me share with you how the painter did the wonder.

How to Paint Over Bright Orange Walls?

Painting over orange paint is easy. Just grab some items like

• Some clean clothes

• A light-shaded primer like grey or white

• Paint brushes

• New paint that you want to use over the orange shade

Once you have these, follow the steps I am sharing next:

• Clean the walls: Use a cloth or vacuum cleaner to clean the walls. Clear as much dust and dirt as possible so that the primer and paint can stick well on the surface.

• Apply primer: Apply two coats of primer next. This will ensure that the orange shade gets covered fully and the next paint shade gets highlighted, but make sure to let every coat dry before applying the next one.

• Apply the main paint: Start applying the main paint next. Apply a coat or two as per your preference, and your painting is done.

So this is how painting over orange walls is done. Just the normal painting method is, but since orange is a bright shade, two coats of primer and paint are applied, but this is not mandatory. You can customise it as per your needs.
