How do you open a plastic-sealed paint can?

• <div><p>Although plastic-sealed paint cans can look tricky, you can open them with adjustable pliers in no time. Grip the plastic seal with the pliers and pull the seal up, moving around the seal until you’ve pried the plastic up in enough spots. Then, you can grab the seal and pop it off the top of the paint can. Depending on the strength of the seal, you may even be able to remove the seal with just your hands by pulling upwards.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to protect floors while painting?

• <div><p>The best ways to protect floors when painting depend in part on the type of paint you&rsquo;re using. When you&rsquo;re using latex paint, most people will choose a drop cloth consisting of canvas, plastic, or heavy paper to protect the floor. If you are using oil-based paint, you may want to select a waterproof plastic sheet that will keep any paint from seeping through.</p></div>

Q: Do professional painters spray or roll?

• <div><p>Many professionals combine spraying and rolling to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-making-your-paint-job-last-longer.htm">help your exterior paint job last longer</a>. They first spray the surface to cover the whole area quickly, then use a technique known as back-rolling. This involves using a textured roller to work the wet paint into the surface to promote maximum adhesion. It also produces a soft finish that helps hide surface blemishes and makes touching up easier.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if I used interior paint outside?

• <div><p>First off, take a breath. The good news is that interior paint, especially when used outside, won&rsquo;t harm your health. The bad news is that you&rsquo;re going to have to reapply the proper exterior paint at some point in the not-so-distant future. Otherwise the current coat will chip, crack, and fade, or worse, develop mold or an insect infestation without remediation. </p></div>

Q: What is the best paint finish for painted shutters?

• <div><p>While flat and satin finishes are ideal for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choose-right-finish-your-front-door.htm">garage or front doors</a>, siding, and trim, gloss and semi-gloss are more common on shutters. That&rsquo;s because these types of finishes highlight this proportionally smaller exterior home feature, adding both contrast and layers of texture to the overall facade. Other types of finishes aren&rsquo;t off limits, but you&rsquo;ll have more success by choosing one that provides a nice sheen. </p></div>

Unfortunately, my experience with this painting company was below my expectations overall. The final cost ended up being nearly double the original quote. The first paint color came out much darker than expected, which required buying a new color and added more expense. While the job was...
