Q: How many coats of paint does a bathroom need?

• <div><p>Most bathroom walls will require two coats of paint, as this ensures proper coverage. If you&rsquo;re painting over a darker color with a lighter color, you may need additional coats. If you&rsquo;re just refreshing with the same shade, one coat of paint is usually fine. It&rsquo;s a good idea to put down one to two coats of primer before painting to ensure the best results. This can also cut down on the need for additional coats if you&rsquo;re painting over a darker 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>
