I really love painting, i could paint all day. i have always been the person family or friends call if they need some painting done because i am always quick to accept task & make sure i don't leave anything not completed & i make sure to not be messy & make the cleanest lines possible. i am always joking saying i have smart brush technology because i cut in very nicely. haha. i always take my time in a slow & steady fashion but seems to have always been most efficient in paint like jobs. i work diligently till i have finished the job completely because i know how stressful those types of projects can be for a homeowner. i try to make it as smooth as possible so taking on a new necessary project is enjoyable & breezy. (:

Painting questions, answered by experts

Since the average weight for a gallon of paint is between 7 and 12 pounds per gallon, the average weight of a 5-gallon bucket of paint will be around 35 to 60 pounds. The weight of your paint will depend on the quality and type of paint, with richer colors derived from heavy metals or natural earth pigments weighing the most and synthetically-derived paints weighing the least.

One of the best ways to get paint to stay on a plastic surface is by removing old, peeling paint from your plastic surface and cleaning the plastic. Once you’ve cleaned the surface thoroughly, you can prime it with a plastic paint primer, wait for it to cure, and then apply high-quality paint that manufacturers have designed specifically for plastic surfaces.

No. Lacquer cannot be used over oil-based paints, as it will not adhere properly to the paint. If you are using water-based paints, sometimes called latex paints, you can use lacquer over the paint. If you want to use lacquer on something covered in an oil-based paint, you must first strip the paint or prime the surface and paint over it with a latex-based paint.

The color of your paint shouldn’t make it harder to apply, but it can be harder to cover in one coat, depending on the surface. Using a good quality primer that’s tinted gray will help make applying your black paint easier. Even with a primer, you will likely have to use two coats to get a perfect, solid black finish.

In some cases, expensive, premium paint brands are better than their budget paint brand competitors, but that isn’t always the case. BEHR® and PPG Paint® companies are moderately priced and still offer great coverage and durability. What’s more, each paint brand offers a variety of paint lines—each with its own pros and cons.
