What happens if you don't paint behind the toilet?

• <div><p>While it may seem like a blind spot, if you don’t paint behind the toilet, the previous color <i>will</i> likely be visible once the rest of the bathroom has been repainted, especially if you’ve gone with a significantly different color palette. Additionally, not painting every part of the room at the same time means that you will have an older paint job behind your toilet that could be more susceptible to moisture damage. </p></div>

Q: Do I tip the crew or just the lead painter?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a matter of personal preference on whether you want to tip the crew or the lead painter. You can tip the crew as a whole, just the lead painter, or each individual painter. Do what feels right in the context of the job.</p></div>

Q: What is the best primer for peeling paint?

• <div><p>Numerous primers on the market will do the job of covering peeling paint. The best primers for peeling paint are bonding or adhesive primers that essentially glue the edges of peeling paint back to the subsurface while providing a smooth, even surface for the new paint coat. </p></div>

Q: Are two coats of paint enough?

• <div><p>Many paint brands advertise as being one-coat paints. While technically true, most painting jobs still require at least two coats of paint to fully cover older paint effectively. When covering particularly dark paints with a lighter color or covering a lighter color with dark paint, three coats, and sometimes more, are often necessary to avoid streaks and spots. </p></div>

Q: How long does a brick paint job last?

• <div><p>As with any exterior paint job, the average lifespan for painted brick is between 10 and 12 years. Your freshly coated bricks will have the longest lifespan with regular maintenance and cleaning. Keeping up with cleaning off dirt and mold will go a long way toward ensuring that your paint lives up to the manufacturer's specifications. </p></div>
