Q: What should I do if I used interior paint outside?

• <div><p>First off, take a breath. The good news is that interior paint, especially when used outside, won&rsquo;t harm your health. The bad news is that you&rsquo;re going to have to reapply the proper exterior paint at some point in the not-so-distant future. Otherwise the current coat will chip, crack, and fade, or worse, develop mold or an insect infestation without remediation. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint vinyl siding?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-paint-vinyl-siding.htm">you can paint vinyl siding</a>. A fresh coat of paint gives your home an updated look without the expense of replacing vinyl siding. For the best results, look for paint with acrylic and urethane resins, as these materials adapt to the vinyl&rsquo;s expansion and contraction in different weather conditions. Use a color that&rsquo;s the same as or lighter than the vinyl siding&rsquo;s current color, as dark colors tend to absorb too much heat, which can lead to warped or buckled vinyl.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint on wrought iron?

• <div><p>For the best results, you should apply two coats of paint to your wrought iron fence. Let your first coat dry for about an hour then promptly apply your second coat.</p></div>

Q: Can you touch up a newly painted ceiling?

• <div><p>Yes, you can touch up a newly painted ceiling, but it's not a common occurrence. If you need to touch up new ceiling paint, be sure to use the original paint. You should only use a small amount of paint and, for a small area, use a small paint roller or paintbrush. You can also use a Q-tip or a toothpick to fix very small blemishes on the paint.</p></div>

Jason and his crew were professional and friendly. The prep work prior to painting was detail-oriented and the paint job itself was exceptional. I’m very pleased and would highly recommend.
