How many coats does eggshell paint need?

• <div><p>In most cases, you’ll need at least two coats of eggshell paint. This is a good rule of thumb to go by if you’re painting a wall or ceiling. Make sure each coat has ample time to dry before you apply the next one.</p></div>

Can you paint concrete with a roller?

• <div><p>You can paint concrete with paint rollers. In fact, using paint rollers is considered one of the easiest ways to evenly apply paint on concrete. A paint roller with a 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick nap—which is basically a fabric paint roller cover—is best for painting concrete. The thicker the nap, the more paint it can hold to fill those pesky concrete cracks and crevices.</p></div>

Q: How many coats does eggshell paint need?

Q: What is the best way to paint a concrete foundation?

• <div><p>You can&rsquo;t paint a foundation like you would the walls in your home; there are a few extra important steps to take. Instead of just busting out the paint, you should clean the surface and fix any impurities before grabbing the brush. Using a paint sprayer to apply sealant and primer will ensure you have the perfect canvas to apply your chosen paint color.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove all exterior paint before repainting?

• <div><p>There are times when you should remove all exterior paint before repainting. This includes when you need to get rid of lead-based paint (which should be done by a pro), or if you need to apply a different finish than what&rsquo;s already there. Your house may also have too many pre-existing layers of old paint, in which case you&rsquo;ll be better off getting rid of the old layers first.</p></div>

Q: Can I sleep in a room with low-VOC paint?

• <div><p>In many cases, you can sleep in a room painted with low-VOC paint on the same day you painted it. You&rsquo;ll want to give it at least 10 hours to allow any lingering chemicals to dissipate. However, it can still have an odor for about a day after painting, so you may want to add extra ventilation or adjust your sleeping arrangements if you&rsquo;re particularly sensitive. </p><p>No-VOC paint is generally odorless and won&rsquo;t emit toxic chemicals, so it&rsquo;s even safer and more comfortable to sleep near after a fresh paint job.</p></div>
