What sheen of paint should I use?

• <div><p>The best sheen depends on your needs. Satin and eggshell sheens are often recommended for siding since their lightly reflective finish can help hide imperfections while being relatively easy to clean. Semi-gloss sheen is a great fit for trim since it’s incredibly easy to clean and more durable and moisture-resistant than satin and eggshell, but if you use it for the entire surface, its more reflective properties can highlight imperfections. This is also why high-glass sheen isn’t a great fit for the entire surface.</p></div>

Is chalk paint more expensive than regular paint?

• <div><p>The short answer is yes, it’s more expensive. This is because chalk paint is a more complicated blend of materials and is harder and more costly to produce. The average cost per quart is around <b>$35 to $50</b>. Comparing that with regular paint, which runs between<b> $9</b> <b>and $25 per</b> <b>quart</b>, you can see how chalk paint costs add up. The good news is that you will apply fewer coats. </p></div>

Q: Can I paint over primer as soon as it dries?

• <div><p>Most primers should dry for 24 hours before painting over them, but some primers that are marketed as quick-drying may be paintable sooner. Check the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions on your primer to find out how long you should let it dry before painting. </p></div>

Q: Do you use a roller or brush to paint textured walls?

• <div><p>Use a roller with a high nap to paint into the textured dips and cover the raised sections of your walls without leaving any sections uncovered. After applying paint using the high-nap roller, you use a paintbrush to cover any missed spots. Applying two or three coats of paint using this method should provide plenty of coverage.</p></div>

Q: What adds more value to a house: interior paint or exterior paint?

• <div><p>Both interior and exterior paint add value to your home, but exterior paint may have a higher ROI when it comes time to sell. Houses with more curb appeal fetch higher prices overall, and a fresh coat of paint can go a long way toward making a great first impression.</p></div>
