Q: When should I use flat paint?

• <div><p>Use flat paint in the rooms that don&rsquo;t need a lot of cleaning. Flat paint works well in bedrooms, where there is low human traffic, and having the walls soak up light keeps the look and vibe calm. Flat paint also hides imperfections, so if you spot a crack, dent, or patch in your wall, choose flat paint over something shinier. </p></div>

Q: What is the disadvantage of black paint?

• <div><p>Black paint absorbs light, so using black paint will cause your room to look darker overall. In addition to reducing ambient light, black paint can make your space feel smaller because it hides depth and contours. The other major drawback is that black paint is harder to paint over with a lighter color. You&rsquo;ll need to fully prime your wall with a good quality primer and use at least two coats of paint to get back to a lighter color after it&rsquo;s been painted black.</p></div>

Q: How long should you wait to shower after painting a bathroom?

• <div><p>Wait at least 48 hours before taking a shower in your newly painted bathroom. Even if the paint feels dry to the touch, it needs time to fully cure and resist the high humidity from a hot shower. Keep the bathroom well-ventilated by running an exhaust fan or leaving a window open during the drying time and while showering. </p></div>

Q: How to avoid roller marks when painting?

• <div><p>Roller marks are streaks or smudges that show up on the wall after painting. They can make the paint's surface look textured or uneven. To prevent roller marks, make sure there's enough paint on the roller when you apply it to the wall. You may have to dip the roller in the paint more frequently than you expect to ensure you have an adequate amount of paint on it.</p><p>Choosing the right type of roller can also help you avoid streaks and marks. If you're painting an interior wall, look for a roller with a low nap and choose one that's large enough for the job.</p></div>

Q: How long does flat paint last on walls?

• <div><p>Flat paint has a much shorter life span than other finishes due to the lack of protective gloss. How long flat paint lasts on walls will depend on sun exposure, moisture, temperature variations, how often it is cleaned, and more. While it&rsquo;s impossible to give an exact number, don&rsquo;t be surprised if you need to repaint walls with flat paint every few years.</p></div>

"Do not hire these guys. They are not professional. No prep, no power wash, no patching, no primer as was written in the contract. Absolutely no communication from them when I try to reach out. Let paint scrapings everywhere. Paint droppings everywhere as the never used a drop cloth or even a piece of plastic. They even cleaned brushes in our yard! After no response from a phone call I sent an email explaining my disappointment and have heard nothing back."
