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’s the best temperature to paint a pool deck?

• <div><p>The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.</p></div>

Q: Does painting vinyl siding last?

• <div><p>Painted vinyl siding can last 10 years or longer. To ensure long-lasting results, be sure to use vinyl-friendly paint as well as proper preparation and application techniques. Note that if you live in a harsher climate with frequent storms or excessive heat, for example, your vinyl siding paint job may not last as long.</p></div>

Q: What is the best type of paint to use for whitewash?

• <div><p>Generally, any type of house paint, such as latex, acrylic, or mineral paint, will work for whitewashing. Paints with a matte or semi-gloss finish work best. If you have leftover white paint from another project, whitewashing can be a great way to use up paint that might have otherwise gone to waste. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: What type of finish should I use?

• <div><p>A finishing layer is an important step in the staining process. A top coat helps make a stain last longer by protecting it from spills, scratches, and natural weathering.</p><p>A lacquer finish is thin, fast-drying, and best used for cabinets, molding, and trim. It&rsquo;s not recommended for outdoor furniture. Another option is varnish, which has a glossy finish with a protective film and is often used on outdoor wood objects. Polyurethane, known as &ldquo;liquid plastic,&rdquo; dries quickly but doesn&rsquo;t hold up well in the heat. Lastly, a shellac finish adds a warm tint to wood but is affected by heat.</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...
