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>

Q: What is the fastest way to paint a room?

• <div><p>Consider skipping the primer if possible; it's only necessary if you need to cover something up, such as a stain or a porous surface, or if you want to switch from a dark color to a light one. If you have a steady hand and are a precise painter, you may want to consider skipping the painter&rsquo;s tape. Instead, carry a damp rag with you as you paint to quickly wipe away any mistakes.</p></div>

Q: Should exterior paint be acrylic or latex?

• <div><p>You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you&rsquo;re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability. </p></div>

Q: Do services include rust treatment before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals remove rust, apply primers, and use specialized coatings for long-term protection.</p></div>

Q: Do you paint the ceiling first or the walls?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re debating whether to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-walls-ceiling-and-trim.htm">paint the walls or ceiling first</a>, let us settle it for you. Painting the ceiling first is key&mdash;that way, you won&rsquo;t have to worry about paint drips. Always start at the top of the room and work your way down for best results.</p></div>

Micheal, the owner of the company was great to work with. Micheal did a great job on the drywall repairs, painting the ceiling, trim and walls! He started the project on time and he finished on time. We will definitely have him back again to help us with our home remodel!
