What does it mean when a window is painted shut?

• <div><p>When a window is painted shut, this means that paint has gotten into the cracks when window sashes or window frames were being painted. It’s pretty easy for this sort of thing to happen while painting, but sometimes homeowners will use paint to seal drafty windows, which will often cause them to get stuck shut.</p></div>

Q: What paint will stick to plastic?

• <div><p>Most high-gloss paint will stick to plastic. However, it&rsquo;s important to prepare your plastic surface to have the best success with painting it. Even the most plastic-adhering paint can struggle to fully adhere to a surface that no one has properly prepared. Ensure that the surface is clean and free of grease or dirt. If your plastic is very slick, you may also want to lightly sand it to increase the chances of complete adhesion.</p></div>

Q: How do room dimensions and wall condition impact the overall cost of painting?

• <div><p>Costs depend on room size, wall condition, and the required coats.</p></div>

Q: When should I use flat paint?

• <div><p>Use flat paint in the rooms that don&rsquo;t need a lot of cleaning. Flat paint works well in bedrooms, where there is low human traffic, and having the walls soak up light keeps the look and vibe calm. Flat paint also hides imperfections, so if you spot a crack, dent, or patch in your wall, choose flat paint over something shinier. </p></div>

Q: Can I paint latex over acrylic?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s fine to paint over acrylic paint with latex paint as long as the surface is properly prepped. If your paint surface isn&rsquo;t glossy, you should be able to apply your paint or primer directly to it. If your acrylic surface is glossy, rough up the surface with some sandpaper first and use a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">good primer</a> to ensure proper adhesion for your latex paint.</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...
