Q: Can I paint over old paint?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll often have picture-perfect results by painting over the old color. However, if you&rsquo;re transitioning from a dark wall color to a light one, you&rsquo;ll want to use a primer first to save yourself from applying multiple coats for coverage. Also, if you&rsquo;re moving from an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-paints-latex-vs-acrylic.htm">oil-based paint</a> to a water-based one and vice versa, you&rsquo;ll want to use a primer. Don&rsquo;t forget to spackle over any holes or dents before adding your new paint color.</p></div>

Q: Can you apply limewash with a roller?

• <div><p>No, you can't apply limewash with a roller and expect good results. Limewash is as much a technique as it is a type of paint, and a freehand application with a brush is part of that technique. Hand brushing a large area can be tiring, but limewash goes on easily and only requires thin coats to be effective. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint galvanized chain link fencing?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint galvanized chain link, but the process is a bit more difficult as it requires additional prep work. Before applying the primer and paint, you must remove the original coating from the metal, which can be time-consuming. If the original coating is not removed, the primer and paint will not bond properly and cause peeling over time.</p></div>

Q: Why use chalk paint versus regular paint?

• <div><p>Homeowners may choose chalk paint over regular paint if they want to hide all of the wood&rsquo;s grain, don&rsquo;t want to apply a large number of coats, and like the extreme matte appearance. Chalk paint is easier to work with than regular paint and adds a unique texture to furniture that regular paint just can&rsquo;t match. </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>
