Q: How do you open a paint can with a twist lid?

• <div><p>Newer paint cans often come with an &ldquo;easy pour&rdquo; spout with a twist lid. These can be tricky to open, but the key is to grip the spout cover with your fingers and twist it counter-clockwise. There should be a raised ridge in the middle to make it easy to grab. For more standard twist lids, you can try prying the lid off by turning it with your hands, as you would a jar, or running it under warm water.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use on stucco?

• <div><p>When choosing paint for stucco, it's recommended to use a high-quality exterior paint specifically formulated for masonry or stucco surfaces. Look for paints labeled as &quot;masonry paint,&quot; &quot;stucco paint,&quot; or &quot;concrete paint.&quot; These paints are designed to adhere well to stucco surfaces and provide durability and weather resistance. </p><p>Opt for paints with good breathability to allow moisture to escape and prevent potential issues with trapped moisture. You may also want to consider paints with UV resistance to protect the stucco from fading or discoloration due to sun exposure.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of limewash paint?

• <div><p>When you compare <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/limewash-vs-paint.htm">limewash versus paint</a>, the drawbacks of limewash include its relatively limited durability compared to synthetic paints, often requiring reapplication in high-traffic areas or harsh weather conditions. Moreover, applying limewash requires skill and patience to avoid issues like streaks or uneven coverage. Limewash also comes with some color variety using natural pigments, but you have fewer options than if you go with paint.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain painted surfaces?

• <div><p>Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.</p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over cabinets?

• <div><p>You can paint over wood, wood-laminate, and metal cabinets, but you need to prepare the surface first. Plastic laminate cabinets and thin veneers may accept a layer of paint depending on their condition, but they require special techniques and paints. If your cabinets sag or have significant damage, it may be a better investment to replace your cabinets than paint over them.</p></div>
