Q: What is the downside of painting brick?

• <div><p>While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.</p><p>Painting brick is porous, meaning it&rsquo;s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.</p><p>Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you&rsquo;ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it&rsquo;s hard to go back without some serious power washing&mdash;another added cost.</p></div>

Q: What do you paint first, walls or trim?

• <div><p>Many people choose to paint the walls first for a few reasons. First, it can provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation to tackle the rest of the room. Second, starting with the walls allows for more forgiveness of small mistakes. You can paint right up to the edge of the trim and easily cover up any accidental paint drops later. On the other hand, if you start with the trim, you need to be more precise to avoid any splatters on the walls.</p></div>

Q: What is the most durable paint for a bathroom?

• <div><p>In terms of durability, the best paint for a bathroom is a semi-gloss paint. Higher gloss finishes are the most durable, easy-to-clean, and mold-resistant options. However, semi-gloss paint is better suited to walls and ceilings than high-gloss paint, which tends to highlight imperfections and is better suited to details like trim, window frames, and cabinetry.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint inside when it rains?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-paint-in-the-rain.htm">paint inside when it rains</a>, but you should keep the windows closed and have a dehumidifier in the room to maintain proper humidity under 70%. Note that keeping the windows closed means you won&rsquo;t have ventilation, so double-check that you&rsquo;re using a no-VOC paint for safety. Even then, it&rsquo;s a better idea to wait until the rain has passed before you start painting.</p></div>

Q: How long after wet-sanding drywall can I paint?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important to wait until the drywall is completely dry before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-walls.htm">painting the wall</a>. This can take up to 24 hours. If you paint while the drywall is still wet, the paint could bubble, peel, or have trouble sticking to the wall. To speed up the drying process, you can turn on a fan, run a dehumidifier, or open windows.</p></div>
