Can you paint over old exterior paint?

• <div><p>For optimal results, sand the exterior of your home and apply a primer coat before painting.

Q: Which paint finish is the most durable?

• <div><p>High-gloss paint is the most durable of the paint finishes. Most glossy paints are <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-enamel-paint.htm">enamel paint</a> made from oils, which gives them that hard, shiny surface with higher durability levels. Less durable matte finishes tend to come as acrylic, milk paint, or chalk paint. So if you&rsquo;re looking for durable paint, go for one with a higher sheen, as it will be easier to clean and ideal for spaces that are subject to damage.</p></div>

Q: Which type of paint is the heaviest when dry?

• <div><p>The heaviest paint when dry is paint that has a thick pigment and additives like sand or some other aggregate. Oil-based paints can take the longest to dry because of their thicker pigments and higher densities, while water-based paints might be lighter when dry because the weight of the water reduces as it evaporates from the paint.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to paint a metal garage door?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-garage-door.htm">cost to paint a garage</a> door is usually $1 to $4 per square foot, which translates to around $120 to $500 for the average two-car garage door. This relatively low-cost painting project can greatly impact your home&rsquo;s look and curb appeal, and you can save a good deal of money by doing it yourself.</p></div>

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>
