Can you paint over old exterior paint?

• <div><p>For optimal results, sand the exterior of your home and apply a primer coat before painting. These steps will help the new paint stick to your home’s surface and will help the paint last longer. Pro tip: Some paint brands offer more expensive options that combine paint and primer into one product.</p></div>

Q: Is satin too shiny for walls?

• <div><p>Unlike high or semi-gloss paint finishes, which can create an excessively reflective effect in indoor spaces, the sheen in satin is understated and right at home on interior walls. If, on the other hand, you don&rsquo;t want any level of shine at all, consider opting for a flat paint or another similarly sheenless alternative like matte. </p></div>

Q: Should I use a brush or a roller for a paint touch-up?

• <div><p>When applying the first coat of touch-up paint, it is best to use a paint roller. A roller allows you to get a thin layer of paint to the area to avoid an unsightly blend with the old coat of paint. However, if you need to touch up the area a second time after the first coat has dried, a small brush will work best to avoid applying too much paint. </p></div>

Q: What maintenance helps preserve artwork or murals over time?

• <div><p>Keeping extreme temperature or humidity under control, gentle cleaning, and inspection ensure pieces remain preserved and visually impactful over time.</p></div>

Q: Do specific finishes work better with certain types of colors?

• <div><p>Depending on your lighting and design style, some finishes will enhance certain colors to your liking more than others. For example, high-gloss finishes can intensify deeper shades such as navy blue and emerald green, making them feel luxurious and bold. On the other hand, you may appreciate how soft pastels and neutrals have a more calming, smooth feel in matte or eggshell finishes. </p></div>
