Q: Why does my trim paint look streaky?

• <div><p>Streaky trim paint can result from several factors, including improper application techniques and insufficient coats. If you use a brush too large or damaged, you&rsquo;re more likely to get uneven coverage. Using the wrong paint for the surface can also mean it&rsquo;s not opaque enough to get the right coverage and a smooth finish. Remember to keep drying times in mind if you&rsquo;re doing multiple coats. Make sure the bottom layer is completely dry before adding another layer. Otherwise, the brush and drag and clump the different paint textures, leading to a streaky, bumpy mess.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint furniture without sanding it?

• <div><p>Chalk paint can be applied without sanding first. Keep in mind that while there are a lot of chalk paint color options available, there aren&rsquo;t as many choices as latex or oil-based paint.</p><p>You can also learn how to paint furniture without sanding using a liquid deglosser, sometimes referred to as liquid sandpaper. This can remove any old paint, gloss, or varnish, without the need to manually sand. Apply the deglosser using a cloth, then wait for the chemical to penetrate through the surface. Once it soaks through, you should be able to wipe away the residue with a towel. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of limewash paint?

• <div><p>When you compare <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/limewash-vs-paint.htm">limewash versus paint</a>, the drawbacks of limewash include its relatively limited durability compared to synthetic paints, often requiring reapplication in high-traffic areas or harsh weather conditions. Moreover, applying limewash requires skill and patience to avoid issues like streaks or uneven coverage. Limewash also comes with some color variety using natural pigments, but you have fewer options than if you go with paint.</p></div>

Q: Why does caulk crack when painting?

• <div><p>Some caulk shrinks during the drying process, leading to cracked paint and a less-than-ideal appearance. Not all caulk cracks when painting, but it&rsquo;s important that you read the label on your caulk container before painting to ensure that it&rsquo;s actually paintable. There are four main types of caulk, and acrylic latex caulk is one of the most reliable caulking materials for painting over without fear of cracked paint. Avoid painting over silicone caulking.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to provide my own paint?

• <div><p>You may need to provide your own paint, depending on the agreement you make with the painter. Some painters prefer that you buy the paint and they supply the labor. However, some professional painters get a better price on paint and can pass that savings along to you even after accounting for labor costs.</p></div>
