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 is the best paint for a humid bathroom?

• <div><p>Glossy-sheened paints work best in rooms where moisture and humidity are factors. Satin and semi-gloss paints do not absorb moisture like other types of paints due to their hard finish. These paints are also easier to clean.</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>

Q: Is it better to paint baseboards or walls first?

• <div><p>While you can do either, it&rsquo;s easier to paint your baseboards before your walls. Painting baseboards first lets you tape off the trim instead of the walls. Also, it&rsquo;s easier to cover up any mistakes on the walls since you&rsquo;ll eventually paint them.</p></div>
