Do you add water to paint when using a spray gun?

• <div><p>You can sometimes add water to your spray gun, depending on the design of your sprayer and the type of paint, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/satin-vs-semi-gloss.htm">paint finish</a>, or sealant. In many cases, mixing in around 10% percent of water to the paint makes for an easier application process and further evens out the mist. Read the instructions to make sure this is an appropriate step.</p></div>

Are textured walls harder to paint?

• <div><p>Yes, painting textured walls is harder than painting standard walls. All the uneven textures make it challenging to get adequate coverage and can leave you with small, bare sections if you’re not meticulous with your painting technique. Textured walls also often require a third paint coat to ensure total coverage, increasing the project time and cost.</p></div>

What kind of paint do you use on fiberglass?

• <div><p>Fiberglass bathtubs require paint that can withstand repeated exposure to water and humidity. Additionally, they require a high-strength epoxy coating to protect the paint from water. A few brands make appropriate paints, some in spray cans.</p><p>However, kits are the best choice because they come with everything you need (with instructions) to ensure a durable finish. These kits may require mixing the paint with a hardener that gives it the strength to withstand repeated water exposure. </p></div>

Q: Do cinder blocks need to be primed before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, cinder blocks must be primed before painting. Without primer, your paint won't stick to the surface of the blocks. You should use a bonding and filling primer which fills all of the small pores of your blocks. Once the primer dries, you'll have a smoother surface to work with and your paint will stick easily to the blocks.</p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over soot?

• <div><p>No, you cannot paint over soot. Soot is a type of contaminant and if not properly removed can cause further damage to your paint and walls. Adding paint directly over soot can result in your paint color changing in appearance and potentially peeling over time. </p></div>

I had West Central Contractors come out to fix a roof that was dripping water down the exterior of a small part of my house, discoloring the bricks. They came out and told me I needed not gutters all around my roof, though this had nothing to do with the problem or what I asked for. I went ahead...

Jiri visited my home with the painter (Gabriel) and was very polite. Gabriel kept my new home very clean and was a very hard worker. My only frustration was that Jiri more or less made me buy the work by the day, but then was a bit conservative with how much could be accomplished in one day.

"This review is based on my experience with Miracle Method of Indianapolis. I have used this process before in another home and found it to be the best option as I do not like grout. This last project was exhausting and after numerous attempts to get it resolved I contact CDH. They were more than willing to help me and took a lot of time on the phone to help me. In the end I had to finish with Miracle Method as they already had 100% of the funds. I will also state that I incurred additional fees in plumber trip and new fixtures that were damaged as to a bad tape job. I wish I would have called CDL first. Please beware of Miracle Method."
