Q: How do you prepare an already painted wall for new paint?

• <div><p>If your already-painted walls have glossy paint, scuff the surface with 220-grit sandpaper or its equivalent before applying primer and paint. For all other paint sheen finishes, clean the walls and repair any spots that need it. Remember to protect the places that you don't intend to paint. </p></div>

Q: How do you open a paint can with a twist lid?

• <div><p>Newer paint cans often come with an &ldquo;easy pour&rdquo; spout with a twist lid. These can be tricky to open, but the key is to grip the spout cover with your fingers and twist it counter-clockwise. There should be a raised ridge in the middle to make it easy to grab. For more standard twist lids, you can try prying the lid off by turning it with your hands, as you would a jar, or running it under warm water.</p></div>

Q: How long does chalk paint last?

• <div><p>This largely depends on your environment and how well the paint was sealed. Properly sealed chalk paint furniture that isn&rsquo;t regularly dinged by toys or steel boots can last 5 years or&mdash;often significantly&mdash;longer. However, if it isn&rsquo;t sealed correctly or is subject to regular wear and tear, you can expect the coat to last 3 years or less. </p></div>

Q: Can I just paint over old paint?

• <div><p>In some cases, you may be able to skip the primer and paint over old paint. If you&rsquo;re painting over paint that&rsquo;s in good condition and is a similar color and finish to the new paint, you probably don&rsquo;t need to use primer. If the old paint is dark or uneven or the wall has stains or damage, you&rsquo;ll want to apply primer before a new coat of paint. </p></div>

Q: Do cinder blocks need to be primed before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, cinder blocks must be primed before painting. Without primer, your paint won't stick to the surface of the blocks. You should use a bonding and filling primer which fills all of the small pores of your blocks. Once the primer dries, you'll have a smoother surface to work with and your paint will stick easily to the blocks.</p></div>
