Q: Can you paint a metal fence?

• <div><p>You shouldn't paint a metal fence. Painting doesn't necessarily damage a corrugated metal fence, but these types of fences are meant to flex, and paint can easily chip and break off. Latex paints can address this issue, but those tend not to be very weather-resistant. Certain paints can trap moisture in the corrugation, which can rust the metal and lead to corrosion. And finally, if you paint a copper fence, it won't patina, which is one of the main reasons people buy copper. </p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint do professional painters use?

• <div><p>Professional painters usually use at least two coats of paint when adding a new color. Depending on the surface they&rsquo;re painting, painters may apply a primer coat before two coats of paint. Ceilings, trim, and baseboards typically get one coat of paint applying a fresh coat of the same color.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace paint?

• <div><p>If you have a can or two of paint that's past its prime, replacing it shouldn't be too expensive. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dolla-dolla-bills-how-much-should-you-pay-can-paint.htm">A gallon of paint costs</a> an average of <b>$25</b>. You may pay more if you want a superior quality paint or if you choose oil-based paint instead of latex or acrylic. </p><p>Buying in bulk can help you save, provided you use all the paint you purchase. For example, a 5-gallon bucket of paint tends to cost less per gallon than a pint or quart-sized can.</p></div>
