Q: Can I paint over already painted metal?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint over already painted metal, but&mdash;before painting&mdash;you&rsquo;ll want to use sandpaper on the area to achieve a rough surface. This helps prevent the paint from peeling or flaking. Remove damaged paint with 120-grit sandpaper. If the paint is in good condition, use 240-grit sandpaper. Brush off any dust before applying the primer. </p></div>

Q: How do various elements influence the pricing of a painting project?

• <div><p>Costs depend on surface type, prep work, labor, paint quality, and any required specialty finishes.</p></div>

Q: Is it best to paint tiles with a brush or roller?

• <div><p>Whether you use a brush or roller depends on the size, shape, and amount of tiles. Rollers are easier to maneuver over large areas and can apply a more even coat of paint in a shorter time frame with no visible brushstrokes. Brushes are best for precision work, particularly in very small areas. If you don't want visible brushstrokes on your painted tiles, you can paint details with small foam brushes instead of bristled paint brushes.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to paint over rotted wood?

• <div><p>No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.</p></div>
