Can I use ceiling paint on walls?

• <div><p>While we can’t stop you, we don’t recommend using ceiling paint on walls. Ceiling paint is designed to be flat and less durable, which means it won’t stand up well to scrubbing or regular contact. It’s often limited in color selection. If you’re painting a low-traffic area, such as a closet, ceiling paint might work in an absolute pinch. But for most walls, it’s worth using a more durable, wall-specific formula. </p></div>

What's the best tool for painting behind a toilet?

• <div><p>A foam brush or paint pad is the best tool for painting behind a toilet, as it will ensure that you can wedge into the tight space between the wall and tank and it’s less likely to drip and cause a mess than a mini roller. A standard paintbrush is the best option for doing detail work around the pipes. </p></div>

Q: Will paint stick to vinyl fencing?

• <div><p>If you paint a vinyl fence, it will likely stick to it for only a brief amount of time. This is because vinyl is not a porous material, so it's not an ideal surface for holding paint. Initially, paint will stick to your fence, but it will eventually peel off. Applying primer before painting your vinyl fence will help paint last longer. Certain primers are well-suited to vinyl, which means <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-paint-vinyl-siding.htm">you can paint vinyl siding</a> with the proper preparation.</p></div>

Q: Can I use ceiling paint on walls?

• <div><p>While we can&rsquo;t stop you, we don&rsquo;t recommend using ceiling paint on walls. Ceiling paint is designed to be flat and less durable, which means it won&rsquo;t stand up well to scrubbing or regular contact. It&rsquo;s often limited in color selection.

But for most walls, it&rsquo;s worth using a more durable, wall-specific formula. </p></div>

Q: How long after painting can you open the garage door?

• <div><p>You should let your initial paint job dry at least 12 hours before opening the door. Check your work after 12 hours have passed to confirm there are no uneven patches, or signs of the old paint showing though&mdash;if you see any, we recommend applying a second coat of paint and waiting an additional 12 hours for it to dry. </p></div>

Q: Is a paint sprayer beginner-friendly?

• <div><p>Sure, but go slowly and read the instructions thoroughly before trying it. It helps to watch tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer type and model. Additionally, if you are new to the world of paint sprayers, mask up, wear gloves, and avoid accidentally touching the tip when in use, especially with high-powered airless sprayers.</p></div>
