Q: How do I know when spray paint is dry?

• <div>Most spray paint is fully dry after 24 hours, but knowing when the spray paint is dry depends on the type of dry paint criteria. Surface dry is a surface that&rsquo;s dry enough for you to apply another coat of paint. Touch dryness is a little dryer than surface dryness and will feel dry if you gently touch it, but it&rsquo;s really wet underneath the initial touch. Hard dry feels fully dry but can dent or smudge upon extra pressure. Thoroughly dry paint is completely dry. </div>

Q: How much do other painting supplies cost?

• <div>In addition to paint, you&rsquo;ll need some other supplies to paint a house yourself. These include: <ul><li>Brushes: $3&ndash;$20 each</li><li>Tape: $3&ndash;$10 per roll</li><li>Drop cloth: $5&ndash;$30 each</li><li>Tray: $2&ndash;$5 each</li><li>Rollers: $10&ndash;$100 each</li><li>House ladder: $100&ndash;$300</li></ul></div>

Q: How do I choose the right color for my shutters?

• <div>The first thing is to consider the main color of your home and determine which colors will complement it. You should place paint samples on your siding and look at them at different times of the day so you can see the way the sun (and shade) affect how they appear. Also note that lighter colors will make your windows look larger, while the opposite is true for darker colors.</div>

Q: Do you use a roller or brush to paint textured walls?

• <div>Use a roller with a high nap to paint into the textured dips and cover the raised sections of your walls without leaving any sections uncovered. After applying paint using the high-nap roller, you use a paintbrush to cover any missed spots. Applying two or three coats of paint using this method should provide plenty of coverage.</div>

Q: How do you open a can of dry paint?

• <div>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-make-paint-dry-smoother.htm">paint drying smoothly</a> on a wall is ideal, a can full of dry paint is not. To open a can of dry paint, you&rsquo;ll need a tool with a sharp edge, such as a utility knife or a box cutter. Take your tool and score the area where the lid meets the can to break through the dried-up paint. Then, use a paint can opener or a flathead screwdriver to pry the lid open and check the state of the contents. For smaller cans with plastic lids, you can run the top under hot water to loosen the lid. </div>

It didn't go well at all. After weeks of waiting, they painted the deck a hideous orange color. The later repainted it a color of my choosing, but the paint was so thick and orange that I couldn't go back to the natural look I wanted. I selected a tan color with a white rail, but the orange...
