Q: What kind of paint will stick to stainless steel?

• <div><p>The best type of paint to apply to stainless steel is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-epoxy-paint.htm">epoxy paint</a>. This material is also popular for painting over concrete and other floor surfaces because it creates a tough, durable surface. Keep in mind that the epoxy paint curing time is three to seven days, but refer to the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for specific wait times. </p></div>

Q: Can a mist coat be too thick?

• <div><p>Yes, a mist coat can be too thick. If you don&rsquo;t dilute the mist coat enough and you apply a thick coat to the wall, the plaster won&rsquo;t be able to evenly absorb the coat. This can cause the later coats of paint to not adhere to the mist coat or plaster, leaving behind flaking, peeling, or bubbling paint. Even if it doesn&rsquo;t flake or peel right away, a thick primary layer of mist coat can also cause the final paint job to look uneven.</p></div>

Q: What is the most popular color for shutters?

• <div><p>Black shutters are very popular because of their versatility and the fact that they complement a variety of other colors. The other foundational color, white, is another extremely popular choice for the same reason. Both colors have the power to pack a punch, whether the rest of your home is painted deep blue or light gray.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to use two or three coats of paint for exteriors?

• <div><p>Use at least two coats of paint for exteriors for better coverage and added durability. When painting lighter colors over darker colors, a third coat of paint may be necessary to achieve full coverage of your home&rsquo;s exterior. A durable paint specifically designed for the material of your home&rsquo;s exterior will last the longest.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to paint a house?

• <div><p>The length of time it takes to paint a house will depend on whether you&rsquo;re doing it yourself or hiring a pro, and the time of year in which you&rsquo;re planning to do it. A professional paint company can likely complete the job within three to four days, but they may need more time to account for bad weather. By contrast, it may take a week or more when opting to DIY. </p></div>
