Q: Can I just paint over hairline cracks in plaster?

• <div><p>You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.</p></div>

Q: Should I paint both sides of my fence?

• <div><p>If possible, it is beneficial to paint both sides of your fence to protect the fence more completely from the elements. Painting both sides of your fence will create a more consistent appearance as well. However, the time and cost involved in painting both sides of the fence may cause people to paint only the side they see.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over wallpaper without a primer?

• <div><p>You should always use a primer before painting over wallpaper to help the paint adhere correctly and get a good finish. Not all wallpaper can be painted over, so do a test patch in an inconspicuous area before painting an entire wall. If the primer and paint don&rsquo;t adhere, you&rsquo;ll need to remove the wallpaper, prime the wall, and then paint.</p></div>

Q: When should I use flat paint?

• <div><p>Use flat paint in the rooms that don&rsquo;t need a lot of cleaning. Flat paint works well in bedrooms, where there is low human traffic, and having the walls soak up light keeps the look and vibe calm. Flat paint also hides imperfections, so if you spot a crack, dent, or patch in your wall, choose flat paint over something shinier. </p></div>

Q: How do you negotiate with house painters?

• <div><p>While your painters may have a certain price point in mind based on the materials and labor they estimate it will take to paint your house, it may be possible to negotiate with contractors, especially if you have multiple quotes to use as leverage. (A painter may be willing to offer some leeway to keep your business.) You might also be able to score a better deal by paying for your services upfront or bundling multiple services.</p></div>
