Painting questions, answered by experts

You can hide wallpaper seams when painting by applying joint compound over them and then sanding thoroughly until smooth. You’ll want to apply two layers of compound, allowing for four to eight hours between coats. Do a light sanding between coats and then after the final coat is dry. Once the compound dries completely, you can begin priming and painting the wall.

The cost for interior painting is $1,985 on average, but the total price could be as low as $350 or as high as $5,500. Factors like the type of paint, the square footage of the painting area, and your geographic location play a part in determining the final project price.

If you choose basic flat paint, you can expect to pay about $13 per gallon. Specialty paints, like VOC-free and high-gloss enamel paint, are more expensive, costing about $35 per gallon.

Yes, it’s possible to paint over stained wood. Keep in mind that you’ll need to remove as much of the remaining stain as possible before applying a new coat of paint. Choosing the best paint for kitchen cabinets comes down to your priorities and preferences, but you can use oil-based, water-based latex, or hybrid enamel paint.

Consider skipping the primer if possible; it's only necessary if you need to cover something up, such as a stain or a porous surface, or if you want to switch from a dark color to a light one. If you have a steady hand and are a precise painter, you may want to consider skipping the painter’s tape. Instead, carry a damp rag with you as you paint to quickly wipe away any mistakes.

A self-etching primer is the best option for aluminum siding. These are specifically designed to bond with bare metals, among other surfaces, leading to better adhesion and corrosion resistance. An oil-based primer is a good alternative if you can’t find a self-etching primer.
