    Paint is too bright
    I just painted my living room to match my couch; which is different shades of browns and tans. It looks really nice. So, I decided to also do my kitchen. I chose a really pretty blue. The problem is once I painted the kitchen it actually turned out to be a really bright turquoise! I thought it might work, but being right next to my living room it looks horrible. Theirs just too much going on. Can I just paint over it or I going to have to do something more major?

    If painted with gloss or semi gloss,rough up with sandpaper and primer first. Tint primer close to new color for easier covering.
