What does it mean when a window is painted shut?

• <div><p>When a window is painted shut, this means that paint has gotten into the cracks when window sashes or window frames were being painted. It’s pretty easy for this sort of thing to happen while painting, but sometimes homeowners will use paint to seal drafty windows, which will often cause them to get stuck shut.</p></div>

How do you match new paint and faded paint?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-match-paint-after-patching-wall.htm">Matching new paint</a> with an old, faded color can be tricky. First, you’ll need to determine whether the paint on your house is latex-based or oil-based. Lightly scrub an inconspicuous area of your home with rubbing alcohol—if the alcohol scrubs away the paint, it’s latex-based. If not, the paint is oil-based. </p><p>Once you have that settled, bring a paint chip or photo of the color to a paint professional and have them mix you a matching paint in the same base (latex or oil). Then paint another inconspicuous part of your house to see if it’s a match.</p></div>

Q: Does painter’s tape leave residue over time?

• <div><p>While it is possible for painter&rsquo;s tape to leave some residue, it is designed specifically not to. If it does leave residue behind, it likely means that the painter&rsquo;s tape was left on too long after the paint dried.</p></div>

Q: How do you paint behind a toilet?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-behind-toilet.htm">Painting behind a toilet</a> requires extra attention and care, as the area is often tight and uncomfortable to reach. First, you should use painter's tape to seal off any areas that you don&rsquo;t want to get paint on, and use a drop cloth on the floor. Then, use a small roller brush or foam brush to apply the paint, making sure to spread it evenly around corners and tight areas. For the best results, allow the paint to dry in between coats. Finally, after you have finished painting and allowed your work to dry completely, remove the painter&rsquo;s tape carefully.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint my pavers?

• <div><p>While you can paint brick or concrete pavers, you shouldn&rsquo;t. Even with a matte finishing paint, it still creates a reflective surface where sunlight bounces off. This increases heat during summer months, making the pavers hard to walk on. The reflection can also damage your eyes. Finally, paint seals the pavers in the least desirable way and makes them impermeable, trapping water and moisture inside, which can cause other problems. Paint layers also chip easily.</p></div>
