What happens if you don't paint behind the toilet?

• <div><p>While it may seem like a blind spot, if you don’t paint behind the toilet, the previous color <i>will</i> 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. </p></div>

Q: What humidity is too high to paint in?

• <div><p>In most cases, humidity above 70% is considered too high to paint in. Humid conditions will slow the paint&rsquo;s drying process, which increases the risk of drips and other imperfections. Moisture on the walls is also one of the biggest reasons for bubbles in your paint and poor adhesion, so you&rsquo;ll get an overall better finish if you maintain humidity under 70%.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint a popcorn ceiling?

• <div><p>If your popcorn ceiling is asbestos-free and you are ready for a new look, painting is an option. As long as there is no flaking or other wear, a new coat of paint might be just the thing to refresh the old ceiling. The best way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-popcorn-ceilings.htm">paint a popcorn ceiling</a> is to use either a paint sprayer or a thick roller to cover the popcorn texture fully. (Do not forget to dust it off beforehand!)</p><p>&ldquo;Note that if you eventually want to remove the popcorn ceiling, a painted ceiling is a labor-intensive job to remove and will cost more,&rdquo; says Bob Tschudi. &ldquo;Once painted, the process of removing the popcorn ceiling requires physical scraping as opposed to a spray-and-scrape approach. It&rsquo;s very labor-intensive, and thus more costly.&rdquo;</p></div>

Q: What adds more value to a house: interior paint or exterior paint?

• <div><p>Both interior and exterior paint add value to your home, but exterior paint may have a higher ROI when it comes time to sell. Houses with more curb appeal fetch higher prices overall, and a fresh coat of paint can go a long way toward making a great first impression.</p></div>
