Q: Can I paint over already painted metal?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint over already painted metal, but&mdash;before painting&mdash;you&rsquo;ll want to use sandpaper on the area to achieve a rough surface. This helps prevent the paint from peeling or flaking. Remove damaged paint with 120-grit sandpaper. If the paint is in good condition, use 240-grit sandpaper. Brush off any dust before applying the primer. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to paint baseboards or walls first?

• <div><p>While you can do either, it&rsquo;s easier to paint your baseboards before your walls. Painting baseboards first lets you tape off the trim instead of the walls. Also, it&rsquo;s easier to cover up any mistakes on the walls since you&rsquo;ll eventually paint them.</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: What is the best paint for bathroom walls to prevent mold?

• <div><p>The best paint to prevent mold on bathroom walls is one with a glossy sheen. If you choose a satin or semi-gloss finish for a humid room such as a bathroom, its hard surface will deflect moisture rather than absorb it the way a matte or eggshell paint might. Glossy paint has the bonus of being easy to clean, which is a useful feature in a bathroom.</p></div>
