Q: Do I need to provide my own paint?

• <div><p>You may need to provide your own paint, depending on the agreement you make with the painter. Some painters prefer that you buy the paint and they supply the labor. However, some professional painters get a better price on paint and can pass that savings along to you even after accounting for labor costs.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to use a special paint to paint over stained wood?

• <div><p>Since you&rsquo;ll be going back over an oil-based paint (stain or varnish), you need the proper material for good adhesion. Using an oil primer is critical to ensuring that the longevity of your work stands the test of time. You can apply any type of paint (oil or latex paint) on top of an oil primer after it has cured.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use on a wrought iron fence?

• <div><p>Acrylic latex paint is the best option to use on your outdoor wrought iron fence, because it holds up well against the elements. Use a high-quality, exterior-grade paint specifically designed for use on metal. You can choose between spray paint or regular liquid paint. As for primer, it's best to use an oil-based and rust inhibiting option before painting your wrought iron fence.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint my wood floors without sanding them?

• <div><p>Sanding a wood floor can be a lot of work, especially if the room is large. However, if you skip this step, the paint might not stick properly to the floor. Over time, your paint can peel or chip. Eventually, you may need to repaint the floor all over again. Save your time and money by sanding the floor the first time.</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...
