Whenever I painted the back wall of our TV room a Merlot red I thought it would be an easy and quick deal, after the first couple of coats it looked pretty nasty so I kept on going. I'm thinking I used the whole gallon over 3 days on that one wall but the end result turned out really well.

I didn't use a primer and don't know if it really matters too terribly much or not.

What is the base color that your painting over?
