Should baseboard heaters be painted the same color as walls?

• <div><p>Baseboard heater colors are subjective to the person painting them. Typically, baseboard heaters and trim are white, but it’s not to everyone’s taste. Lighter shades like gray and beige also work and offer contrast. If you want to hide them, paint your baseboard heater covers to match the walls so they simply blend in.</p></div>

Can I use ceiling paint on walls?

• <div><p>While we can’t stop you, we don’t recommend using ceiling paint on walls. Ceiling paint is designed to be flat and less durable, which means it won’t stand up well to scrubbing or regular contact. It’s often limited in color selection. If you’re painting a low-traffic area, such as a closet, ceiling paint might work in an absolute pinch. But for most walls, it’s worth using a more durable, wall-specific formula. </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>

Q: Can I paint a metal roof myself?

• <div><p>While DIY is possible, professionals ensure proper adhesion, even coating, and the use of high-quality, weather-resistant paints.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you paint brick without a primer?

• <div><p>If you skip using a primer before painting brick, you risk ending up with a blotchy paint job that won&rsquo;t last as long. Because of the natural variations in brick, paint can adhere and dry unevenly to different spots. When you use a primer, you put a neutralizing layer between the brick and the paint, evening the texture and color. Without a good primer, paint can also flake off in spots, come out blotchy, and wear away more easily.</p></div>

Well it started pretty good, but I had to hire somebody else to re-do the work. They didn't clean up their mess and they did a poor job grouting. When he put the new window in the shower, he did not grout the exterior of the window, so I had to have that re-done. He also left a grouting stain...
