Q: Do specific finishes work better with certain types of colors?

• <div><p>Depending on your lighting and design style, some finishes will enhance certain colors to your liking more than others. For example, high-gloss finishes can intensify deeper shades such as navy blue and emerald green, making them feel luxurious and bold. On the other hand, you may appreciate how soft pastels and neutrals have a more calming, smooth feel in matte or eggshell finishes. </p></div>

Q: Which paint finish is the most durable?

• <div><p>High-gloss paint is the most durable of the paint finishes. Most glossy paints are <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-enamel-paint.htm">enamel paint</a> made from oils, which gives them that hard, shiny surface with higher durability levels. Less durable matte finishes tend to come as acrylic, milk paint, or chalk paint. So if you&rsquo;re looking for durable paint, go for one with a higher sheen, as it will be easier to clean and ideal for spaces that are subject to damage.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to sand crown molding before painting?

• <div><p>In most cases, you have to sand crown molding before painting. This is due to the nature and design of molding. It&rsquo;s not a flat wall, so uneven surfaces will be immediately noticeable once that paint dries. Sanding down the surface smooths everything out, leading to a satisfactory result. If the trim is already smooth, such as with new crown molding, you can give it a light sand with 120-grit sandpaper. </p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint do you need to paint a room?

• <div><p>In most cases, you&rsquo;ll need two coats of paint to ensure proper coverage. If you put down a coat of primer first, you could get away with a single coat of paint, but you&rsquo;ll likely still need two coats. The only exception would be if you&rsquo;re painting with a light color over a dark color, in which case you may need three or four coats of paint to ensure the dark color doesn&rsquo;t show through the new paint. </p></div>

Q: Is limewashing less expensive than painting?

• <div><p>When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/limewash-vs-paint.htm">limewash versus paint</a>, the cost to limewash interior walls is greater, especially when hiring a pro. That&rsquo;s because limewashing is more labor-intensive and takes more time to complete. While limewashing costs between $1.50 and $6 per square foot, a standard paint job will cost between $1.50 and $4 per square foot.</p></div>
