Q: Is it OK to paint over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/painting-over-wallpaper-its-possible.htm">paint over wallpaper</a> if it&rsquo;s smooth and in good shape. But if there are bumps or tears in the wallpaper, they&rsquo;ll likely show through the paint. Similarly, you should avoid painting over textured wallpaper because the ridges and patterns in the paper will be visible. In either of these situations, you should remove the wallpaper before painting.</p></div>

Q: What magnetic paint colors can you get?

• <div><p>Magnetic paint is only available in dark gray or black because of the iron dust particles mixed through it. If your heart is set on a less-gloomy shade, add a top coat or two of other latex or chalkboard paint. But adding more than two top coats will degrade the magnetic properties. Dark top coats work better than light shades, as the black or gray magnetic paint is less likely to peek through.</p></div>

Q: Can paint thinner and mineral spirits be used interchangeably?

• <div><p>Technically, mineral spirits are a type of paint thinner, so they can be used for the same purposes. In most cases, pure mineral spirits are preferable to other paint thinners. Still, if necessary, you can successfully use paint thinners for most of the same applications, such as thinning or cleaning oil paints.</p></div>

Q: Is painting a driveway a good idea?

• <div><p>Painting a driveway can be a good idea for specific situations. It offers aesthetic improvements, helps protect the surface from UV damage and stains, and can extend the driveway's life span. It's beneficial for driveways in relatively good condition that need a refresh or color enhancement. However, painting is unsuitable for severely cracked or damaged surfaces, as it won't address structural issues. Additionally, proper preparation, priming, and choice of paint are crucial for a successful outcome. </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>

This firm was outstanding to deal with. Very professional staff and what they promised they did. Even came back to touch up after it rained that night and some of the paint did not dry so it washed off. Came back as promised and finished the job. Highly recommend.
