One common complaint after Lincoln painting work is that walls seem to mark very easily at first. This usually isn’t a fault — it’s how paint cures.
Fresh paint takes time to fully harden. Even though it feels dry, it can take weeks to reach full durability. During that time, marks and scuffs are more likely.
As a Lincoln painter, I always advise:
- Avoid wiping walls for the first few weeks
- Be gentle around high-traffic areas
- Allow paint to fully cure before heavy use
In busy households, choosing the right paint finish can also help. Many Lincoln decorators recommend more durable paints for hallways and staircases.
