Q: Do I tip the crew or just the lead painter?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a matter of personal preference on whether you want to tip the crew or the lead painter. You can tip the crew as a whole, just the lead painter, or each individual painter. Do what feels right in the context of the job.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to prime a driveway before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, it is advisable to prime a driveway before painting. Primer serves as a preparatory step, promoting better paint adhesion to the surface, enhancing durability, and ensuring a smoother, more even finish. Priming is essential for concrete driveways as they are porous and absorb paint unevenly without proper priming. Skipping this step may result in a less durable and less aesthetically pleasing paint job, requiring more frequent repainting.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to paint a garage door with a brush or roller?

• <div><p>The answer depends on the garage door itself. If your garage door is flat, a roller is the fastest and easiest way to paint it. A combination of brushes and rollers is best for garage doors with designs or textures. The brush allows you to thoroughly paint all the grooves and angles while the roller speeds up the process on large, flat areas. </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: Is powder coating less expensive than traditional painting?

• <div><p>Powder coating can be less expensive than traditional spray painting. If you&rsquo;re doing it yourself, upfront costs can be hundreds or even thousands of dollars higher than hiring a pro. But if you plan to powder coat many items and use the oven and gun often, the upfront cost may be worth it. </p></div>
