This small business, willing to work as a sub-contractor, licensed and bonded. Michael Angelo Custom Painting is located in Clovis CA. We service Fresno, Clovis and the surrounding areas. For special projects may reach outside the central valley. The owner Michael began 15 years ago by doing painting projects for friends and family. The projects turned out to be amazing and with such high quality that Michael began to be referred to customers outside of his friends and family. Soon he was in business for himself exclusively painting for a living. This concept of referral business and treating each customer like one of his own has become the philosophy of how he does business. Each project is well organized and thoroughly inspected for detail. We work around your schedule, stay clutter free while project is underway, and inform you each step of the way. Whether you’re just updating your bathroom in your home or completely painting the exterior of your commercial building we will keep our promise to treat you like family!

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Like any paint, the magnetic type has a shelf life. Depending on the formula and manufacturer, the paint can last between 12 months and 5 years for an unopened can. But even magnetic paint with a five-year shelf life can go bad sooner, depending on the storage location and temperature. Opening the tin and improperly resealing it also expedites expiration.

If your paint smells funky and is still lumpy after stirring, this is a sign it isn’t usable anymore.

Yes, you can use a Magic Eraser on flat paint without affecting the paint job itself. This is especially helpful if you want to remove dirt and scuff marks without compromising the paint coverage. Simply move the sponge over the area you want to clean, and stains and marks should disappear.

While it may seem like a blind spot, if you don’t paint behind the toilet, the previous color will likely be visible once the rest of the bathroom has been repainted, especially if you’ve gone with a significantly different color palette. Additionally, not painting every part of the room at the same time means that you will have an older paint job behind your toilet that could be more susceptible to moisture damage.

The disadvantages of whitewash paint can start when mixing the paint. Too much water can cause chipping and peeling later because the substrate did not fully absorb the solution. It's also difficult to control the consistency of the paint, resulting in an uneven finish. Remember, achieving desired results with whitewash demands skill and patience, as improper techniques can result in streaks, uneven coverage, or premature flaking, adding complexity to the process.
