Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

This may come down to personal preference, but it’s generally best to paint the ceiling before you paint the walls. Why? Painting the ceiling can be more physically demanding, and painting the ceiling last may result in drips or splatters that would mess up freshly painted walls. By painting the ceiling first, you’ll avoid having to touch up walls after any painting accidents. It may not matter, though, if you’re painting the ceiling the same color as the walls.

With so many color choices for cabinets, you have many different ways to bring personality to your kitchen (or any other room where you are updating your cabinets). The color you choose to paint your cabinets should reflect your personal style but can also match existing wall colors or appliances. Some colors to choose from include:

  • White

  • Navy

  • Grey

  • Green

  • Taupe

Most bathroom walls will require two coats of paint, as this ensures proper coverage. If you’re painting over a darker color with a lighter color, you may need additional coats. If you’re just refreshing with the same shade, one coat of paint is usually fine. It’s a good idea to put down one to two coats of primer before painting to ensure the best results. This can also cut down on the need for additional coats if you’re painting over a darker color.

After painting, air out the painted area for at least 48 to 72 hours by opening windows and using fans, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The process helps disperse volatile organic compounds (VOCs) the paint emits, reducing their concentration indoors. However, in some cases, especially with oil-based paints, airing out for extended periods may be necessary. Monitor air quality and continue ventilation until paint fumes dissipate significantly.

The best exterior paint type to use on a stone house is an acrylic latex, preferably a semi-gloss or eggshell, as it is durable and easy to clean. Not only is it easy to work with and readily available in a multitude of colors, acrylic latex paint is also one of the best choices for an eco-, kid-, and pet-friendly paint.
