Is black paint hard to paint with?

• <div><p>The color of your paint shouldn’t make it harder to apply, but it can be harder to cover in one coat, depending on the surface. Using a good quality primer that’s tinted gray will help make applying your black paint easier. Even with a primer, you will likely have to use two coats to get a perfect, solid black finish.</p></div>

Q: Is there a difference in tipping for exterior vs. interior painting?

• <div><p>Tipping for exterior and interior painting is often roughly the same. In some cases, interior painters may be around the homeowner more and can get to know them a little better, which can sometimes result in better tips.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over a troweled wall?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint over a troweled wall once the texture is fully dry. Remember that textured surfaces may require more paint and hands-on, detailed work to ensure you get into all the nooks and crannies. If your walls are highly textured, a paint sprayer may be the best fit for the job.</p></div>

Q: Is 2 gallons of paint enough for a room?

• <div><p>Yes. A gallon of paint covers around 400 square feet, so two gallons will be enough for one coat in a 400-square-foot room or two coats in an 800-square-foot room. However, if you have a very large room or you&rsquo;re painting an open space or an entire floor of your home, you may need more than two gallons. </p></div>

Q: Can you save a dried paintbrush?

• <div><p>With patience, you can often save a dried paintbrush. Soak the bristles overnight and clean the brush as you would any other time. You'll likely have to repeat the cleaning steps, including soaking, more than once.</p></div>
