Q: What kind of paint should I use to paint my barn?

• <div><p>The best kind of paint for barns is latex paint because it&rsquo;s less likely to fade, lasts for a decade, and is flexible. You can also use latex exterior paint mixed with linseed oil in your primer to make it extra durable. </p></div>

Q: How many gallons of paint do I need?

• <div><p>One gallon of paint can usually cover up to 400 square feet. Therefore, painting a one- or two-car garage door typically requires one gallon of paint, which should give you enough for the two to three coats experts recommend for this job. However, if you're painting a lighter color over a darker color, you might need more. Using primer can decrease the total number of coats of paint you need.</p></div>

Q: What do you paint first, walls or trim?

• <div><p>Many people choose to paint the walls first for a few reasons. First, it can provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation to tackle the rest of the room. Second, starting with the walls allows for more forgiveness of small mistakes. You can paint right up to the edge of the trim and easily cover up any accidental paint drops later. On the other hand, if you start with the trim, you need to be more precise to avoid any splatters on the walls.</p></div>

Q: Should I spray or roll paint my garage door?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to use a sprayer to paint your garage door, especially if the door has panels and other details. A sprayer can get those hard-to-reach places much easier than cutting in with a brush or trying to roll the paint. Once you get comfortable using a sprayer, you&rsquo;re more likely to get a smooth, professional-looking finish. However, a paint roller will also work if you&rsquo;ve got a flat garage door or if you don&rsquo;t have access to a sprayer.</p></div>

Q: Should bathroom ceiling paint be semi-gloss or satin?

• <div><p>Of the two sheens, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/satin-paint.htm">satin</a> is more resistant to moisture, whether it&rsquo;s from frequent cleaning or from the shower, and it dries quickly. However, if there are imperfections in the wall, they will be more obvious to the naked eye, so make sure to get the ceiling as smooth as you can before you start painting.</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...
