Q: Should you paint a fiberglass door with a brush or roller?

• <div><p>Paint adheres more easily to fiberglass than other materials, and so do brush marks. Using a brush can result in an uneven texture and patchy appearance, especially when using a quick-drying paint like latex or acrylic. Instead, use a foam roller to ensure the paint is evenly and consistently applied. </p></div>

Q: Should I prime over old exterior paint?

• <div><p>Priming over old exterior paint is fine if the original paint is not cracked, chipped, and peeling. When that is the case, you need to scrape it off and sand first. Primer improves adhesion, seals stains, and provides a consistent base for the new paint. It also enhances the paint's durability and helps achieve a more uniform finish. </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: How often should interior painted surfaces be refreshed?

• <div><p>Every 5-7 years, or more frequently in high-traffic areas showing wear.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to paint?

• <div><p>Painting the interior of a single room will take the average DIYer between <b>6 and 10 hours</b>. However, your timeframe could increase or decrease based on factors such as your skill level, room size, as well as the number of light switch plates, outlet covers, and other small objects to work around.</p></div>
