What is the most common barn color?

• <div><p>Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.</p></div>

Should you use a roller or brush for satin paint?

• <div><p>Satin paint applied to walls is best done with a roller to get a smooth, even surface. Rollers are designed to apply paint evenly and efficiently. Using a roller will save you some time because it’s about twice as fast as brushing on your paint. For trim like door frames and window frames, use a brush to apply satin paint to ensure you get into all the nooks and crannies.</p></div>

Q: Is a roller or brush better for eggshell paint?

• <div><p>For larger areas, like painting walls, a roller is the best option for applying eggshell paint. Rollers are made to hold more paint and spread it evenly and efficiently over your wall. A roller will be faster and give you a more even coat than a brush for painting walls and ceilings, and it will avoid the visible texture you&rsquo;d get from brushstrokes for a clean finish. For smaller areas, like trim, a brush will work so long as you remember to paint with the grain of the wood. </p></div>

Q: Is it OK to paint over cracked paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over cracked paint, but only if you properly sand down the damaged areas. Once the surface is as smooth as you can get it, clean the walls and let them dry before applying a new coat of paint. Painting over cracked paint without sanding or cleaning beforehand will not cover up the cracks and may even make them look worse. </p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over your front door?

• <div><p>If you're hoping to save time by simply painting over your front door, we have bad news. This usually won&rsquo;t give you the results that you want. You need to fully prep your door so that the paint adheres to the surface. If you don't sand and clean your door, you may find that you need to repaint your door sooner than you would if you had prepared the door properly in the first place.</p></div>

Fence painted but when the gate is open, ends not painted. Four windows in one block under the patio and two outside of patio did not have the ends of the windows painted. Called to verify the paint left here was exterior paint as the can was marked "Int" on the top of the can. Talked to Greg...
