Can I paint over old paint?

• <div><p>You’ll often have picture-perfect results by painting over the old color. However, if you’re transitioning from a dark wall color to a light one, you’ll want to use a primer first to save yourself from applying multiple coats for coverage. Also, if you’re moving from an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-paints-latex-vs-acrylic.htm">oil-based paint</a> to a water-based one and vice versa, you’ll want to use a primer. Don’t forget to spackle over any holes or dents before adding your new paint color.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t pressure wash before painting?

• <div><p>If the exterior walls are not thoroughly cleaned before a paint job, the paint could stick to the grime, creating obvious imperfections along the way. Beyond that, painting over a freshly-cleaned wall just about doubles the lifespan of the paint, from three or four years to seven to ten years. </p></div>

Q: Can I use a Magic Eraser on flat paint?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use a Magic Eraser on flat paint without affecting the paint job itself. This is especially helpful if you want to remove dirt and scuff marks without compromising the paint coverage. Simply move the sponge over the area you want to clean, and stains and marks should disappear. </p></div>

Q: What’s the best way to paint metal?

• <div><p>Brushes, rollers, and spray paint are the best ways to paint metal surfaces, depending on your project goals. Spray paint is the easiest method for painting metal and can make painting complicated pieces with many curves and grooves a breeze. However, using traditional paint with a roller or brush creates a harder, more durable finish.</p></div>

"Chris and Shelley were very good at communicating with me! I got a great deck on my place, and the place was painted. Not to mention the old deck had to be demolished. It was a great success, and I am looking forward to a quote next year for the back room. I tried to post a positive review on this, but somehow it did not show up. I hope this one does."
