Q: Can I paint over primer as soon as it dries?

• <div><p>Most primers should dry for 24 hours before painting over them, but some primers that are marketed as quick-drying may be paintable sooner. Check the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions on your primer to find out how long you should let it dry before painting. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to paint baseboards or walls first?

• <div><p>While you can do either, it&rsquo;s easier to paint your baseboards before your walls. Painting baseboards first lets you tape off the trim instead of the walls. Also, it&rsquo;s easier to cover up any mistakes on the walls since you&rsquo;ll eventually paint them.</p></div>

Q: How do you open a plastic-sealed paint can?

• <div><p>Although plastic-sealed paint cans can look tricky, you can open them with adjustable pliers in no time. Grip the plastic seal with the pliers and pull the seal up, moving around the seal until you&rsquo;ve pried the plastic up in enough spots. Then, you can grab the seal and pop it off the top of the paint can. Depending on the strength of the seal, you may even be able to remove the seal with just your hands by pulling upwards.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint drop ceiling tiles?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to paint certain drop ceiling tiles, including those made of plastic, metal, and wood. Painting fiberboard ceiling tiles is technically possible, but the results rarely look appealing, so it&rsquo;s best to replace them with new tiles, especially given how affordable they are. If you do paint your drop ceiling tiles, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use a paint sprayer and a rapidly-drying paint to avoid drips. Latex paint is often a good choice, especially if you thin it and apply it using a sprayer.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best way to paint metal?

• <div><p>Brushes, rollers, and spray paint are the best ways to paint metal surfaces, depending on your project goals. Spray paint is the easiest method for painting metal and can make painting complicated pieces with many curves and grooves a breeze. However, using traditional paint with a roller or brush creates a harder, more durable finish.</p></div>

William was very prompt to answer back and get scheduled. My house is brick and painted. It had a lot of dirt and build up from over the years. He did a flawless job of bringing back the shine to the exterior of my home. Definitely would recommend All N All Washing Co!

He gave us a bid and when he finished, he reduced it by $60 because it didn’t take him as long as he thought. He is the only painter that I have ever known that based his exterior painting on the humidity level outside.
