Are you using a roller and taping your trim? I can usually prime, cut in, and roll 2 coats on a room in a couple of days max, allowing for drying time. If I get an early start, I can do it in a day, with the 2nd morning for the trim. Our bedroom remodel took a bit longer b/c it's actually 2 rooms combined and we used a dark burgundy paint, so it took several coats.
Paint  on the way!       |

I don't want to think about painting, ugh! Usually, it takes me about 2 days to do a room, too, to tape off, prime coat and 2 regular paint coats. Good Luck! Hope you finish soon. | |

It seems to take us days and days, too! Every time we think we've figured a way to do it faster, but nope!    | |

I try not to paint, as it takes forever to paint a room!

2-3 days if I do it right - one if I hurry (then I have to go back and do it all over again)....  | |

Depends on the color. Our bedroom/vestibule is dark red which took 3 coats + 1 gray primer, but the livingroom was just 1 coat + 1 primer. Wally cuts the trim, because like Marnie's DH says, I'm not good enough at it. | |

About This Page: This is a discussion on How long does it normally take you to.................. within the The Family Room: Family and Friends, part of the PassPorter Community - Boards & Forums on Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel; OH MY GOSH! My body aches and my hand is permanently deformed - around a paint brush! How long does ...
How long does it usually take you guys to paint a room - you know a normal size bedroom - all of the walls (of course 
) all of the trim with a base coat and then the real paint.....the new color? I am on day 3 of this project - and I am still not done! DH is beginning to feel sorry for me I think! He called me this afternoon and told me he would help me this evening - "the two of us can get it done in no time!" You see - he HATES to paint - so since I am home during the summer - I usually tackle this type of stuff. But I am exhausted and I really want to get this done! Besides - I just realized today - I am leaving for my Mom's in just a little over a week - and then we are off to Disney in 17 days! I have so much to do! I have got to get this painting project done! 
It took him 3 months (I kid you not) to paint DDs nursery 
The room is only about 10x15. Enough said there
