Q: What should I do if I used exterior paint inside?

• <div><p>The biggest issue with painting your interior walls with exterior paint isn&rsquo;t the way the paint looks or performs&mdash;it&rsquo;s the lack of ventilation. The higher quantities of VOCs in exterior paint will have a harder time dispersing in an enclosed space, so do everything you can to direct them out&mdash;like turning on a fan and opening your windows and doors. Afterward, you can simply prime and redo your walls with interior paint, and no one will know the difference.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best temperature to paint a pool deck?

• <div><p>The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to paint over old exterior paint?

• <div><p>Yes, but you&rsquo;ll need to make sure that the old exterior paint is in good condition. Before painting over the old paint, clean the surface thoroughly with a pressure washer. If you are opting to paint a lighter color over a darker one, you might need to apply a tinted primer so that the old paint color doesn&rsquo;t show through.</p></div>

Q: How do you calculate a painting charge?

• <div><p>You can calculate a painting charge by starting with the square footage of the area you painted. If you painted one room that&rsquo;s 11x32 feet (132 square feet), charging $5 per square foot would get you $660 in labor costs (132x5). You may also choose to charge extra for intricate work (such as baseboards or crown molding) or painting jobs done in complex locations. Then, you&rsquo;ll need to charge for the materials used, including primer and paint, and tools like brushes, drop cloths, and ladders. </p></div>
