How do you get paint to stay on plastic?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to get paint to stay on a plastic surface is by removing old, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-peeling-paint.htm">peeling paint </a>from your plastic surface and cleaning the plastic. Once you’ve cleaned the surface thoroughly, you can prime it with a plastic paint primer, wait for it to cure, and then apply high-quality paint that manufacturers have designed specifically for plastic surfaces.</p></div>

Q: How do you prepare an already painted wall for new paint?

• <div><p>If your already-painted walls have glossy paint, scuff the surface with 220-grit sandpaper or its equivalent before applying primer and paint. For all other paint sheen finishes, clean the walls and repair any spots that need it. Remember to protect the places that you don't intend to paint. </p></div>

Q: Do you have to sand crown molding before painting?

• <div><p>In most cases, you have to sand crown molding before painting. This is due to the nature and design of molding. It&rsquo;s not a flat wall, so uneven surfaces will be immediately noticeable once that paint dries. Sanding down the surface smooths everything out, leading to a satisfactory result. If the trim is already smooth, such as with new crown molding, you can give it a light sand with 120-grit sandpaper. </p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over soot?

• <div><p>No, you cannot paint over soot. Soot is a type of contaminant and if not properly removed can cause further damage to your paint and walls. Adding paint directly over soot can result in your paint color changing in appearance and potentially peeling over time. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to paint a ceiling?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/paint-ceiling-cost.htm">cost to paint a ceiling</a> is about <b>$250</b>, but costs can range from <b>$150 to $550</b>, depending on the square footage and height of the ceiling, the type of ceiling, the type of paint, the type of primer, labor costs, the trim and molding present, and the prep required. For example, the price to paint a ceiling varies between $0.50 to $5 per square foot.</p></div>

He's very professional to deal with and can do any kind of painting I can think of. We were more than satisfied with what he did to the interior of our house. If we had wooden siding instead of vinyl, I'd have hired him to paint that as well. Any paint projects come up in the future...
