If you don't prepare correctly and invest in the right paint you will be adding a lot more layers than you want...if your prep is poor it won't be long before it's bubbling and flaking.
The best paint to use for painting over dark colours varies based on the surface. Plaster and wallpaper can use Zinsser Cover Stain, while painted woodwork needs a quality primer/undercoat.
Step-by-step guide: Start by prepping the surface, filling holes, sanding, and cleaning. Apply a coat of white primer before proceeding with painting to ensure a smooth finish.
