How do you prepare a wall for black paint?

• <div><p>First, make sure that you tape off all the areas that you don’t want to paint black. It’s harder to paint a light color over black than to touch up any lighter spots you missed. Once you’ve taped it off, make sure that the surface is clean and smooth, and then prime the wall with a tinted primer in gray. This step will help to transition from a lighter color to a darker one.</p></div>

Why does my trim paint look streaky?

• <div><p>Streaky trim paint can result from several factors, including improper application techniques and insufficient coats. If you use a brush too large or damaged, you’re more likely to get uneven coverage. Using the wrong paint for the surface can also mean it’s not opaque enough to get the right coverage and a smooth finish. Remember to keep drying times in mind if you’re doing multiple coats. Make sure the bottom layer is completely dry before adding another layer. Otherwise, the brush and drag and clump the different paint textures, leading to a streaky, bumpy mess.</p></div>

Q: How long do I have to wait to paint over the caulk?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to wait at least two hours before you paint over a freshly applied caulk. This time frame is the bare minimum, however. If you live in a humid region or a cool climate, you&rsquo;ll need to wait even longer. A good rule of thumb is to wait a solid 24 hours for the caulk to dry to be on the safe side.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint a whole wall using a brush?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint an entire wall using just a brush. In fact, it may make the most sense on narrow walls where a roller would be impractical, but be prepared for it to take more time. We still recommend cutting in around corners and trim, then distributing paint around the rest of the wall as evenly and smoothly as possible.</p></div>

Q: How much does interior painting cost?

• <div><p>Depending on the wall condition, paint quality, and labor, the cost ranges from $2 to $6 per square foot.</p></div>

"Do NOT hire Mike from right choice. He's a used car salesman who promised a lot & delivered many headaches. $7500 for a paint job & His crew used a sander on my French Doors & scratched all the glass, could be close to $4000 to replace. His son promised to come back in 1 week & fix or replace. It's been 3 weeks & nothing, today he's demanding another $1000 of the $1500 I owe him or he won't show up. He told me go file complaints with the BBB & ROC which I did today. Worst contractor I have ever dealt with. People make mistakes but this guy won't fix his mistakes. He's arrogant & the worst at customer service. Look at the picture. & decide for yourself if you want this type of work for $7500"
