How long does chalk paint last?

• <div><p>This largely depends on your environment and how well the paint was sealed. Properly sealed chalk paint furniture that isn’t regularly dinged by toys or steel boots can last 5 years or—often significantly—longer. However, if it isn’t sealed correctly or is subject to regular wear and tear, you can expect the coat to last 3 years or less. </p></div>

Q: Do you paint shiplap with a roller or brush?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re painting shiplap, the best way to get full coverage is actually to use both a paintbrush and a roller. You can start by using a brush to cut in the edges and fill in the gaps and finer grooves of the wood. Then, you can go back over the entire space with a roller to ensure an even, smooth finish. </p></div>

Q: Can a mist coat be too thick?

• <div><p>Yes, a mist coat can be too thick. If you don&rsquo;t dilute the mist coat enough and you apply a thick coat to the wall, the plaster won&rsquo;t be able to evenly absorb the coat. This can cause the later coats of paint to not adhere to the mist coat or plaster, leaving behind flaking, peeling, or bubbling paint. Even if it doesn&rsquo;t flake or peel right away, a thick primary layer of mist coat can also cause the final paint job to look uneven.</p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over soot?

• <div><p>No, you cannot paint over soot. Soot is a type of contaminant and if not properly removed can cause further damage to your paint and walls. Adding paint directly over soot can result in your paint color changing in appearance and potentially peeling over time. </p></div>

Q: How long does commercial painting take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 3-10 days, depending on the size of the space, drying times, and number of coats required.</p></div>
