Q: Can you prime and paint on the same day?

• <div><p>Yes, with some primers, you can prime and paint on the same day. It depends on how long your primer takes to fully dry. Some can dry within an hour while others may take a fully 24 hours.</p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over your front door?

• <div><p>If you're hoping to save time by simply painting over your front door, we have bad news. This usually won&rsquo;t give you the results that you want. You need to fully prep your door so that the paint adheres to the surface. If you don't sand and clean your door, you may find that you need to repaint your door sooner than you would if you had prepared the door properly in the first place.</p></div>

Q: What is the best paint for bathroom walls to prevent mold?

• <div><p>The best paint to prevent mold on bathroom walls is one with a glossy sheen. If you choose a satin or semi-gloss finish for a humid room such as a bathroom, its hard surface will deflect moisture rather than absorb it the way a matte or eggshell paint might. Glossy paint has the bonus of being easy to clean, which is a useful feature in a bathroom.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over primer as soon as it dries?

• <div><p>Most primers should dry for 24 hours before painting over them, but some primers that are marketed as quick-drying may be paintable sooner. Check the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions on your primer to find out how long you should let it dry before painting. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of paint sprayers?

• <div><p>Paint sprayers come with a few disadvantages, with the most notable being the up-front cost. You&rsquo;ll spend a few hundred dollars on a paint sprayer in most cases, while a roller and brushes will typically cost under $40. Sprayers also require more preparation to cover the areas you don&rsquo;t want to paint, and they require more technique to get your paint applied without drips or bubbles from applying too much paint at once. </p></div>

Phil and his crew rearranged their current jobs to ensure that our floors were refinished in time to get the painting done before our move-in date. We also asked them to remove all the baseboards and quarter round - which was good thing because then we could see how poorly the flooring had been...
