Q: Can I use wall paint on the ceiling?

• <div><p>You can technically use wall paint on a ceiling, but it&rsquo;s not ideal. Wall paint is thinner and more prone to dripping, which makes it harder&mdash;and messier&mdash;to apply overhead. Any significant level of sheen can highlight ceiling imperfections and create glare from lighting. Flat ceiling paint is the better choice for a smooth, even finish that hides flaws. </p></div>

Q: Can lighting change how a paint color looks on the wall?

• <div><p>Absolutely. Natural light, incandescent bulbs, and LED lighting all impact how a color appears. For example, a cool gray under daylight might look slightly blue under warm interior lighting. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s smart to check color matches at different times of day and under various lighting conditions. If a color match appears only slightly off, lighting may be the reason.</p></div>

Q: How long does magnetic paint last?

• <div><p>Like any paint, the magnetic type has a shelf life. Depending on the formula and manufacturer, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-paint-last.htm">paint can last</a> between 12 months and 5 years for an unopened can. But even magnetic paint with a five-year shelf life can go bad sooner, depending on the storage location and temperature. Opening the tin and improperly resealing it also expedites expiration.</p><p>If your paint smells funky and is still lumpy after stirring, this is a sign it isn&rsquo;t usable anymore.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of professional commercial painting?

• <div><p>Professional painting improves aesthetics, increases property value, and ensures long-lasting durability with high-quality materials.</p></div>

Q: How long should you wait to shower after painting a bathroom?

• <div><p>Wait at least 48 hours before taking a shower in your newly painted bathroom. Even if the paint feels dry to the touch, it needs time to fully cure and resist the high humidity from a hot shower. Keep the bathroom well-ventilated by running an exhaust fan or leaving a window open during the drying time and while showering. </p></div>

Derek painted the entire main floor of the residence which is 2150 ft.² with ceilings in access of 25 feet in height. His ability to do the job is exceptional, an application and cleanup. He?s the only painter I?ve used that I didn?t have to ask him to caulk corners of walls before he painted...

O'Brien's crew did superb work. The prep work included a great deal of sanding, and was done better than I could have done it myself. His crew painted many windows, which look great! They were very careful to protect the furniture and floors, and to close off the areas being sanded (in case...

He was supposed to come at 10am. We called at 10:45 and he finally showed up with 2 frightening individuals that I'm not even sure knew how to paint. We ended up spending a ton of money on paint beyond what they charged. At the end my whole ceiling was streaked. They should have painted...
