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>

What kind of paint do you use on fiberglass?

• <div><p>Fiberglass bathtubs require paint that can withstand repeated exposure to water and humidity. Additionally, they require a high-strength epoxy coating to protect the paint from water. A few brands make appropriate paints, some in spray cans.</p><p>However, kits are the best choice because they come with everything you need (with instructions) to ensure a durable finish. These kits may require mixing the paint with a hardener that gives it the strength to withstand repeated water exposure. </p></div>

Q: Can you wait too long between coats of paint?

• <div><p>No&mdash;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.

Q: Why does zero-VOC paint still smell?

• <div><p>While no-VOC paints don&rsquo;t contain the chemical compounds that are toxic when they&rsquo;re outgassed, they can still have an odor. This is because odors can come from other chemicals in the paint that aren&rsquo;t classified as VOCs. Again, ventilation is key, especially if you plan to sleep in the room on the same day as you paint. </p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use over wallpaper?

• <div><p>If you decide to paint over wallpaper, it&rsquo;s important to prep the surface with an oil- or shellac-based primer. This helps prevent moisture from creating bubbles loosening the adhesive. Plus, a primer helps paint attach to the wall smoothly and securely. Use quality <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-paints-latex-vs-acrylic.htm">oil-based or latex paint</a> to cover the wallpaper. Be prepared to cover the wallpaper with two coats for maximum coverage.</p></div>

Q: How do I know when I should repaint my house?

• <div><p>When you should repaint your house is largely up to you since it&rsquo;s primarily a cosmetic update, but many people choose to repaint when they notice signs of fading, bubbling, or peeling paint. You might also want to repaint prior to selling your home to boost its resale value or if you want a new color.</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...
