Do you need to prime fiberglass before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, you should prime a fiberglass bathtub before painting it. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">primer</a> improves the paint’s adhesion, strengthening and increasing the durability of the final result. While you can buy primer separately, bathtub and tile refinishing kits come with a primer designed to work with the paint and hardener.</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 lacquer be used over any paint?

• <div><p>No. Lacquer cannot be used over oil-based paints, as it will not adhere properly to the paint. If you are using water-based paints, sometimes called latex paints, you can use lacquer over the paint. If you want to use lacquer on something covered in an oil-based paint, you must first strip the paint or prime the surface and paint over it with a latex-based paint. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint vinyl baseboards?

• <div><p>You can certainly paint vinyl baseboards, but you may want to consider why you would. Vinyl baseboards are not very expensive, and if you&rsquo;re considering painting baseboards over 5 years old, you may want to consider simply replacing them with a color you like&mdash;there is an enormous range of color options for this material, and replacement won&rsquo;t cost too much more than painting them. </p></div>

Q: What paint rollers do professionals use?

• <div><p>Professional painters often use microfiber rollers since they hold more paint and allow the pros to cover a bigger surface area without having to stop frequently to reload the roller with more paint. Painters also use extension poles for a wider reach from one position, giving them more coverage with less moving around.</p></div>

They were very friendly and did a wonderful job painting. They removed all outlet covers, filled holes, pulled baseboards away and then made a trip back the next day to replace it all after the paint had dried. They cleaned up entirely and left the house exactly as it was when they arrived. I am...
