Can you wait too long between coats of paint?

• <div><p>No—if you complete a full coat of paint, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-painting-techniques-make-walls-stand-out.htm">painting techniques</a> like cutting in and rolling, you could wait weeks or months between coats if you wanted. For best results, sand the first coat and clean the wall before applying the second.</p></div>

Is it cheaper to paint or wallpaper?

• <div><p>It is less costly to paint than wallpaper when you only consider the upfront cost. Wallpaper costs <b>$320 to $820</b> when applied by a pro, while paint only costs <b>$200 to $700 per room</b>. However, when comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-wallpaper-vs-paint.htm">wallpaper versus paint</a>, consider the long-term as well. Wallpaper can save you money over time since it has a much longer life span than paint.</p></div>

Q: How to paint high up without a ladder?

• <div><p>You may be able to paint a high ceiling without a ladder if you have an extension pole that reaches high enough. Some extension poles have telescoping handles, allowing you to adjust the pole's length without needing to swap it out. Another option is to use a scaffold to reach high areas.</p></div>

Q: How long do you let caulk dry before painting?

• <div><p>You should wait for caulk to cure before painting it. Silicone and acrylic latex caulk can take anywhere from one to 10 days to fully cure, and polyurethane may take 10 to 12 days to cure. Always follow the instructions on the label when it comes to painting over caulk because different types require different drying and curing times. </p></div>

Q: Should I use a paint sprayer like the pros?

• <div><p>When you hire a professional painter, this expert may use a paint sprayer to repaint a room instead of a roller and brushes. Using a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spraying-vs-rolling-paint.htm">paint sprayer versus a roller</a> for a DIY job can be tough for a beginner. The cost of renting or buying a sprayer will be higher than buying rollers and brushes. It can be tough to ensure even coverage with a sprayer when you&rsquo;re a beginner. Avoiding splatters and overspray in other areas of the room can be difficult, too. Sprayers will save a lot of time, though. </p></div>
