Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

You should not mix ceiling paint with wall paint. The results will be unpredictable, and you might end up with a finish that doesn’t perform well on either surface. For example, the flatness of the ceiling paint may hamper the durability of the wall paint. It’s best to use each type of paint as intended to get the best look and more longevity.

While often used interchangeably, flat and matte paints are not the same. Flat paint has no gloss and is completely shine-free, while matte has up to 10% resin, giving it a slightly velvety appearance. That small amount of gloss in matte paint gives it a more elegant, modern appearance than flat paint, though flat paint is ideal for hiding imperfections in even the most dented, scratched, and repeatedly repaired surfaces.

A finishing layer is an important step in the staining process. A top coat helps make a stain last longer by protecting it from spills, scratches, and natural weathering.

A lacquer finish is thin, fast-drying, and best used for cabinets, molding, and trim. It’s not recommended for outdoor furniture. Another option is varnish, which has a glossy finish with a protective film and is often used on outdoor wood objects. Polyurethane, known as “liquid plastic,” dries quickly but doesn’t hold up well in the heat. Lastly, a shellac finish adds a warm tint to wood but is affected by heat.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

A painting quote should include a breakdown of material and labor costs, a detailed description of the scope of work, an estimated timeline for the project, a cost breakdown for any necessary prep work, payment terms, and information on warranties or quality guarantees. If your painter is supplying the materials, the quote should also include the quantity of paint needed, as well as the brand and color.
