Can you paint wires in a basement ceiling?

• <div><p>You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. </p><p>However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.</p></div>

Can you paint concrete with a roller?

• <div><p>You can paint concrete with paint rollers. In fact, using paint rollers is considered one of the easiest ways to evenly apply paint on concrete. A paint roller with a 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick nap—which is basically a fabric paint roller cover—is best for painting concrete. The thicker the nap, the more paint it can hold to fill those pesky concrete cracks and crevices.</p></div>

Q: How much does a 5-gallon bucket of paint weigh?

• <div><p>Since the average weight for a gallon of paint is between 7 and 12 pounds per gallon, the average weight of a 5-gallon bucket of paint will be around 35 to 60 pounds. The weight of your paint will depend on the quality and type of paint, with richer colors derived from heavy metals or natural earth pigments weighing the most and synthetically-derived paints weighing the least. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint vinyl siding?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-paint-vinyl-siding.htm">you can paint vinyl siding</a>. A fresh coat of paint gives your home an updated look without the expense of replacing vinyl siding. For the best results, look for paint with acrylic and urethane resins, as these materials adapt to the vinyl&rsquo;s expansion and contraction in different weather conditions. Use a color that&rsquo;s the same as or lighter than the vinyl siding&rsquo;s current color, as dark colors tend to absorb too much heat, which can lead to warped or buckled vinyl.</p></div>

Q: Should bathroom ceiling paint be semi-gloss or satin?

• <div><p>Of the two sheens, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/satin-paint.htm">satin</a> is more resistant to moisture, whether it&rsquo;s from frequent cleaning or from the shower, and it dries quickly. However, if there are imperfections in the wall, they will be more obvious to the naked eye, so make sure to get the ceiling as smooth as you can before you start painting.</p></div>

He was courteous, on time when he said he would be there and did a very professional job painting the inside of my home. He actually suggested a different shade than I wanted at first for my bedroom and I am so glad he did. Turned out that was the best way to go.

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.
