Q: Can I paint over primer as soon as it dries?

• <div><p>Most primers should dry for 24 hours before painting over them, but some primers that are marketed as quick-drying may be paintable sooner. Check the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions on your primer to find out how long you should let it dry before painting. </p></div>

Q: Should I prime metal before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, primer is an essential step for preventing rust formation on your newly-painted metal surface. Additionally, primer can help the paint stick to the metal better and can slow down the formation of rust if you buy a rust-inhibiting primer. Just be sure to avoid water-based primers, which aren't made for metal surfaces.</p></div>

Q: What is the benefit of hiring a professional painter?

• <div><p>One of the most significant benefits of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-things-consider-when-hiring-interior-painter.htm">hiring a professional painter</a> is that they complete the task faster and better. Generally, it takes about a day to paint a room, depending on dry time. If you're painting your entire house or the exterior of your home, that's a lot of time spent with a paintbrush in hand. Outsourcing this project to a painting pro will save you countless hours.</p><p>Other benefits of hiring a professional painter include:</p><ul><li><p>Quality experience with painting </p></li><li><p>Assistance with choosing colors</p></li><li><p>Using the right tools for the job</p></li><li><p>Extensive product knowledge</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How much paint thinner should you use?

• <div><p>You should use either a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of paint to paint thinner in most cases. The amount of paint should always be higher than the amount of paint thinner. </p></div>

Q: Can you spray paint over asbestos?

• <div><p>While there are some sealants designed to be spray-painted over asbestos to encapsulate it, you still want to make sure it&rsquo;s a specifically designed product for this purpose&mdash;not just run-of-the-mill spray paint. Furthermore, be sure you aren&rsquo;t inadvertently spraying the asbestos fibers around when you take on this project, and as always, be sure to wear the proper protective gear, including a P-100-rated respirator and a disposable body suit, so as not to inadvertently breathe in or spread asbestos fibers.</p></div>
