Can I just paint partsof a wall at different times?

Posted by admin
Justin Everett-Church asked:


I have a large wall in a loft where it continues on the first and second floor and part is a really tall wall. I’d like to go ahead and paint the accessible parts and then hire a professional to paint the tall part of the ceiling.

If I paint my sections and they dry, will there be a noticeable seam or color difference when the contractor paints the taller area that ajoins my sections? I’m assuing for this that it would all come from a single large batch of paint.

      Paint is mixed really well at both times there will still probably be slight difference as everyone paints little differently would need to make sure that you end your section in nice even.
      The rest is painted.
