Can you paint over lime green to a cream colour

Hi as title says can you paint over lime green to a cream colour with just one coat like maybe a special paint or will I have to do lots of coats to hide the green. Thanks in advance :)

It's always best to paint an undercoat first especially when painting over a dark colour. Colortrend paints have great coverage, but you may still need two coats.

I hope this helps.

If the colour is really strong you could use a preparation paint called Blocker (most brands do it) it will completely block the colour underneath eliminating the need for numberous undercoats
