Q: Should I use paint thinner or mineral spirits to clean paint brushes?

• <div><p>You can use either paint thinner or mineral spirits to clean paint brushes, but both have distinct advantages. Paint thinners are better solvents, making them a good option if you need to clean your brushes quickly or if you are dealing with dried paint, which mineral spirits can&rsquo;t remove. On the other hand, mineral spirits have less toxicity, less odor, and lower volatility. It is safer to use indoors and doesn&rsquo;t evaporate as quickly if you need to leave the brushes to soak.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint stucco siding?

• <div><p>It is possible to paint stucco siding. Painting stucco offers the advantages of providing a refreshed appearance and matching the patched area with the rest of the painted structure. However, there are some considerations to keep in mind. </p><p>Painting the entire structure, including stucco patches, can make it more challenging to reapply stucco in the future if desired. Stucco is a breathable material that allows moisture to evaporate, while paint can create a barrier, potentially trapping moisture. </p><p>To minimize these risks, it's important to choose high-quality breathable paint and ensure proper surface preparation. Before deciding to paint stucco, careful consideration should be given to the long-term implications and desired aesthetic.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint my chain-link fence?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-chain-link-fence.htm">paint a chain-link fence</a>, but you don&rsquo;t want to use spray paint. With the spray method, you&rsquo;ll be losing a majority of your product to the air, given the size of the gaps in chain-link fences. Instead, use a paintbrush for your fence posts and a paint roller for the wire.</p></div>

Q: How do you open a paint can with a twist lid?

• <div><p>Newer paint cans often come with an &ldquo;easy pour&rdquo; spout with a twist lid. These can be tricky to open, but the key is to grip the spout cover with your fingers and twist it counter-clockwise. There should be a raised ridge in the middle to make it easy to grab. For more standard twist lids, you can try prying the lid off by turning it with your hands, as you would a jar, or running it under warm water.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over existing exterior paint?

• <div><p>You may or may not be able to paint over your old exterior paint. If the existing paint is in good shape, then you can paint a new layer on top. But if your paint is flaky, you'll need to scrape off the old paint before adding any new layers. Also, it&rsquo;s best to use primer first to help your paint stick properly.</p></div>

This is the kind of project you never want to have to do. We had water damage to our bathroom wall because our wood/stucco siding failed. I didn't even hesitate to call Frank. He gave me fair quotes to do the job well (vinyl siding) or for life (Hardie board). We worked with Mike to settle on...
