How do you prepare a wall for black paint?

• <div><p>First, make sure that you tape off all the areas that you don’t want to paint black. It’s harder to paint a light color over black than to touch up any lighter spots you missed. Once you’ve taped it off, make sure that the surface is clean and smooth, and then prime the wall with a tinted primer in gray. This step will help to transition from a lighter color to a darker one.</p></div>

How long does it take to paint a stairway or foyer?

• <div><p>It will usually take a professional painter between three and four hours to paint a stairway; if you’re DIY-ing, plan to spend between four and six hours, depending on the difficulty of your project and the size of your hallway or foyer.</p></div>

What paint lasts the longest on wood?

• <div><p>Acrylic paint is the best choice for painting wood if you want a finish that will last for years to come. To ensure a flawless and long-lasting finish, remember these <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-to-using-acrylic-paint-on-wood.htm">tips for using acrylic paint on wood</a>: Clean, sand, and prime before adding your color. Also, if you’re using acrylics on outdoor furniture, be sure to choose paint that is specifically made for outdoor use.</p></div>

Q: Should crown molding be painted flat or semi-gloss?

• <div><p>Many experts say to rely exclusively on semi-gloss when painting crown molding, as it imparts some shine and texture to the molding. Additionally, it&rsquo;s more durable and long-lasting than flat paint. However, not everyone wants the added shine that semi-gloss paint provides, as it calls attention to imperfections in the wall. Flat paint offers a subtle and classic look, which is the right choice for many homeowners. </p></div>

Q: Which type of paint is the heaviest when dry?

• <div><p>The heaviest paint when dry is paint that has a thick pigment and additives like sand or some other aggregate. Oil-based paints can take the longest to dry because of their thicker pigments and higher densities, while water-based paints might be lighter when dry because the weight of the water reduces as it evaporates from the paint.</p></div>

Jerry is a very nice guy. He seems to really like what he does, but the quality of the work is where things go down hill. The job was supposed to take 4 to 5 days. He and his guys (both are son in-laws from what I recall) would show up on time but always be in a hurry to leave by 2 or 3pm....
