Can I paint over old paint?

• <div><p>You’ll often have picture-perfect results by painting over the old color. However, if you’re transitioning from a dark wall color to a light one, you’ll want to use a primer first to save yourself from applying multiple coats for coverage. Also, if you’re moving from an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-paints-latex-vs-acrylic.htm">oil-based paint</a> to a water-based one and vice versa, you’ll want to use a primer. Don’t forget to spackle over any holes or dents before adding your new paint color.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to roll or spray paint stucco?

• <div><p>When done correctly, a roller or paint sprayer can be used to paint stucco. Rolling paint works well on smaller projects, while a sprayer is more efficient for larger jobs. With some practice, a homeowner can rent an airless sprayer to paint stucco, but a larger job may be best done by a professional painter. Smaller areas are more manageable for the DIY homeowner.</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: How often should you repaint your bathroom?

• <div><p>Generally, you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-paint-bathrooms.htm">paint your bathroom</a> every three to four years. Seven years is usually the maximum time you should allow between refreshes. How often you should repaint your bathroom depends on the type of material you used on the walls or ceiling, the average moisture and humidity level in the room, and the quality of the paint.</p></div>

Q: How do you prepare an already painted wall for new paint?

• <div><p>If your already-painted walls have glossy paint, scuff the surface with 220-grit sandpaper or its equivalent before applying primer and paint. For all other paint sheen finishes, clean the walls and repair any spots that need it. Remember to protect the places that you don't intend to paint. </p></div>
