I'm a retired guy who has owned 7 houses, none of them new, and so I've had lots of experience with all the little repairs that need to be done in a home. I've been working part time as a handyman since I retired a few years ago. I paint, repair walls, do light remodeling, minor electrical such as replacing switches and outlets and installing new lights, light plumbing such as fixing and replacing toilets and faucets. I can usually start work within a day or two of being called. I work according to your schedule.

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, primer is an essential step for preventing rust formation on your newly-painted metal surface. Additionally, primer can help the paint stick to the metal better and can slow down the formation of rust if you buy a rust-inhibiting primer. Just be sure to avoid water-based primers, which aren't made for metal surfaces.

While paint drying smoothly on a wall is ideal, a can full of dry paint is not. To open a can of dry paint, you’ll need a tool with a sharp edge, such as a utility knife or a box cutter. Take your tool and score the area where the lid meets the can to break through the dried-up paint. Then, use a paint can opener or a flathead screwdriver to pry the lid open and check the state of the contents. For smaller cans with plastic lids, you can run the top under hot water to loosen the lid. 

If you’re choosing a finish with less enamel, it will be difficult to cover without a little extra elbow grease. Sand a layer of the satin paint off first before going in with the eggshell finish. That way, the eggshell paint will have a better chance of adhering to the surface and will likely last longer.

They provide better coverage, faster drying times, and enhanced durability.

Enamel paint is typically an oil-based paint, but some options on the market are water-based. Water-based enamel paints tend to dry faster, in less than 8 hours, while oil-based enamel paints may take 24 hours. Oil-based enamel tends to be more durable and retain its shine for longer than water-based enamel paint.
