How do you paint a brick chimney?

• <div><p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-brick-home-exteriors.htm">how to paint a brick chimney</a>, consider that standard paint can seal in moisture and cause serious chimney problems. Instead, use a vapor-permeable sealant. You’ll first scrub and sand the chimney; then, you can patch any gaps with caulk and apply the sealant. We recommend hiring a pro for this job since it entails working on the roof, which comes with a lot of necessary safety precautions.</p></div>

What happens if you don't paint behind the toilet?

• <div><p>While it may seem like a blind spot, if you don’t paint behind the toilet, the previous color <i>will</i> likely be visible once the rest of the bathroom has been repainted, especially if you’ve gone with a significantly different color palette. Additionally, not painting every part of the room at the same time means that you will have an older paint job behind your toilet that could be more susceptible to moisture damage. </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: Do you have to sand before using chalk paint?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t have to, but, on certain surfaces, sanding will allow the paint to adhere more easily.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't paint behind the toilet?

• <div><p>While it may seem like a blind spot, if you don&rsquo;t paint behind the toilet, the previous color <i>will</i> likely be visible once the rest of the bathroom has been repainted, especially if you&rsquo;ve gone with a significantly different color palette.

Q: Can you German smear over painted brick?

• <div><p>A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance&mdash;so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.</p></div>
