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: Do I need to prime a fiberglass door before painting?

• <div><p>Because of its chemical composition, you don&rsquo;t need to prime fiberglass before painting. Paint will adhere without issues and have a smooth, even appearance without needing a primer coat. However, a top coat may be necessary to limit damages from weather and ensure you don&rsquo;t need to repaint your door so soon. </p></div>

Q: What kind of paint roller gives the smoothest finish?

• <div><p>A foam roller or a roller with a very short nap will give you the smoothest finish, especially when working with glossy paints. Thicker rollers will leave a slight texture on the wall, and shiny paint will reflect light, highlighting the imperfections.</p></div>

Q: Should you DIY or hire a pro for exterior house painting?

• <div><p>Painting the exterior of your home is a moderate to advanced DIY project and requires certain tools, supplies, experience, and time. Due to the intricacies and time involved, exterior painting is usually best left to a pro, but can be tackled by an enthusiastic homeowner. </p></div>
