    What is the best way to get rid of dark spots when painting
    I have recently painted my bedroom blue. But when the paint dried, I noticed that I have some spots that are much darker then others. What is the best way to get rid of those?

    I have thought about painting over the dark spots with the original color of the wall... then going back over them with the blue...

    Any advise people have would be great...

    Thanks in advance...

    Did you use a primer? 95% of the time priming prior to painting solves issues like these. Regardless of if the wall you're painting is painted, priming helps a whole lot. If you do repaint, make sure you prime. Of course, it's always optional. ;)

    You will have to cover the dark spots (paint over them) with a sealer, such as ZAP, or KILTS, which you can buy at any store that sells paint.
