Ctrl Alt Dreamers: rv renoavation

The initial thought of painting our 34ft trailer was, "Oh it wont take that long it is a small space.". Yeah right I feel like it has consumed my life, lol. The painting has done so because I didn't use the correct paint. Basically in short never use a paint and primer duo. I have painted many other walls and furniture but for whatever reason I decided to do the duo of paint and primer which was not the best option. I was having to paint the same surface with 4 coats, that should of been a red flag but I decided to keep painting. Then it hit me, "Stop! What are you doing? You are wasting your time." Not only was it extremely time consuming, but my nail could scrape off the paint. The paint wasn't even adhering to the walls correctly. Talk about a total nightmare. I really did not want a glossy finish look on the walls and cabinets but I ended up just putting a polycyclic protective finish sealer over the paint to prevent any future chipping. The painting was a process that I mainly did myself, because it is something that I could do alone. Meaning that I didn't need the husbands muscle to complete it. I would usually start the day with primer then go do another task and then come back for more coats of primer and so on through out the day until the area I was working on was completed.
