Q: Is painting a driveway a good idea?

• <div><p>Painting a driveway can be a good idea for specific situations. It offers aesthetic improvements, helps protect the surface from UV damage and stains, and can extend the driveway's life span. It's beneficial for driveways in relatively good condition that need a refresh or color enhancement. However, painting is unsuitable for severely cracked or damaged surfaces, as it won't address structural issues. Additionally, proper preparation, priming, and choice of paint are crucial for a successful outcome. </p></div>

Q: How soon can you paint after drywall mud?

• <div><p>You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don&rsquo;t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between flat and matte paints?

• <div><p>While often used interchangeably, flat and matte paints are not the same. Flat paint has no gloss and is completely shine-free, while matte has up to 10% resin, giving it a slightly velvety appearance. That small amount of gloss in matte paint gives it a more elegant, modern appearance than flat paint, though flat paint is ideal for hiding imperfections in even the most dented, scratched, and repeatedly repaired surfaces. </p></div>

Q: What kind of paint will stick to stainless steel?

• <div><p>The best type of paint to apply to stainless steel is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-epoxy-paint.htm">epoxy paint</a>. This material is also popular for painting over concrete and other floor surfaces because it creates a tough, durable surface. Keep in mind that the epoxy paint curing time is three to seven days, but refer to the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for specific wait times. </p></div>

Q: What kind of paint roller gives the smoothest finish?

• <div><p>A foam roller or a roller with a very short nap will give you the smoothest finish, especially when working with glossy paints. Thicker rollers will leave a slight texture on the wall, and shiny paint will reflect light, highlighting the imperfections.</p></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...
