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 much paint is needed for a 12x12 room?

• <div><p>One gallon of paint covers about 400 square feet. Assuming that you have four equal walls that are 8 feet high, a 12x12 room will need one gallon of paint per coat. The number of coats you need will depend on the condition of the wall and whether you&rsquo;re painting over an existing color or starting fresh. </p></div>

Q: Does limewash paint need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Limewash paint does not require sealing in the traditional sense. Unlike other paints, limewash forms a breathable, matte finish that evaporates moisture from the surface. However, a sealer or topcoat adds protection or durability. It can help enhance the paint's dirt, moisture, and abrasion resistance. Sealing limewash may alter its appearance, potentially affecting its natural matte finish. Therefore, whether to seal limewash depends on the project's specific requirements and desired aesthetic outcome.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to tip a painter?

• <div><p>The best time to tip a painter is after the job is complete. Alternatively, you can buy the painters lunch or coffee during the job.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint when it’s raining?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s best to avoid exterior painting when it&rsquo;s raining, you can still paint inside when the weather is wet. As long as the humidity and temperature inside your house are moderate enough to allow paint to dry properly and your room is properly ventilated, it&rsquo;s perfectly fine to tackle an indoor painting project even if it&rsquo;s raining cats and dogs outside.</p></div>
