Q: Can you paint over old paint on a concrete porch?

• <div><p>You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you&rsquo;ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of deck staining or painting?

• <div><p>Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.</p></div>

Q: How much does a five-gallon bucket of stain cover?

• <div><p>A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you&rsquo;re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you&rsquo;ll need.</p></div>

Q: What finish is best for exterior porch paint?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-types-exterior-paint.htm">Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches</a> because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don&rsquo;t want paint that&rsquo;ll show every mark like matte, but you don&rsquo;t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.</p></div>

Q: Does stain get darker after it dries?

• <div><p>The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they&rsquo;re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.</p></div>
