Is it okay to wash paint brushes in the sink?

• <div><p>You can clean water-based paint from brushes in the sink and allow the waste water to go down the drain. However, one<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-painting-tips.htm"> tip to remember during a painting project</a> is that it's illegal to allow oil-based paint or its cleaning solutions, even organic ones, down the drain and into the sewer system.</p></div>

Q: What paint is best for textured walls?

• <div><p>Latex paint is one of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-paint-explained.htm">best paint types</a> for textured walls. This water-based paint is fast-drying and has low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it safer and more convenient for painting walls that require several coats of paint. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re painting exterior walls, you can also consider using oil-based paint, but keep in mind that it takes much longer to dry and can slow your project down considerably.</p></div>

Q: Can I use leftover paint from several years ago to touch up?

• <div><p>It may be possible to touch up with leftover paint, but don&rsquo;t consider it Plan A. Even if the can is sealed, older paint may change color or consistency over time, especially if stored in fluctuating temperatures. Stir thoroughly and test in a discrete area first. If the paint looks noticeably different when dry, it&rsquo;s better to get a fresh match using the code or color name on the can.</p></div>

Q: How much paint is needed for a 12x12 room?

• <div><p>One gallon of paint covers about 400 square feet. Assuming that you have four equal walls that are 8 feet high, a 12x12 room will need one gallon of paint per coat. The number of coats you need will depend on the condition of the wall and whether you&rsquo;re painting over an existing color or starting fresh. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint a metal fence?

• <div><p>You shouldn't paint a metal fence. Painting doesn't necessarily damage a corrugated metal fence, but these types of fences are meant to flex, and paint can easily chip and break off. Latex paints can address this issue, but those tend not to be very weather-resistant. Certain paints can trap moisture in the corrugation, which can rust the metal and lead to corrosion. And finally, if you paint a copper fence, it won't patina, which is one of the main reasons people buy copper. </p></div>

He was punctual and trustworthy. He completed several projects for me. Kitchen, bath, porch, she shed, paint, base and casing, doors, flooring. I always had him return for each project since he did such a wonderful job. He exceeded my expectations and maintained the agreed budget.

Price seemed to be very high for an already finished garage. The estimate was for painting, per coat, plus we supplied all necessary primer, paint, etc. We can do the job ourselves but didnâ t want to. We are on a retirement budget, and just couldnâ t afford this price.
