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: What kind of paint should I use to paint my barn?

• <div><p>The best kind of paint for barns is latex paint because it&rsquo;s less likely to fade, lasts for a decade, and is flexible. You can also use latex exterior paint mixed with linseed oil in your primer to make it extra durable. </p></div>

Q: How can I stop paint from bubbling?

• <div><p>To make sure the paint won&rsquo;t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that&rsquo;s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won&rsquo;t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.</p></div>

Q: Is painting over wallpaper a good idea?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wallpaper-removal.htm">remove wallpaper</a> rather than paint over it. You should only paint over wallpaper if removing it would damage the wall, the surface is relatively smooth, or there are minimal problem areas&mdash;such as slight peeling and lifted seams&mdash;that you can fix easily. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it can create more problems if the wallpaper is in poor condition and you don&rsquo;t properly prep the area for painting. Depending on the state of the wallpaper, color, and textures could show through, and moisture from the paint could loosen the adhesive, causing unsightly bubbling.</p></div>

Q: Should you paint a front door with a brush or a roller?

• <div><p>This depends on the size and design of your door. If your door is on the smaller side and features some unique design elements, go with a brush to ensure you get in those hard-to-reach crevices without painting outside the lines. If you&rsquo;re painting a large door, like a double door or garage door, and the panels are flat, go with a roller to get the job done quickly. </p></div>

In the course of this year, I have had these guys hang door, repair plaster, tile, paint, wallpaper, and repair a window sill. There is nothing they can’t handle! And now my bedroom is gorgeous.
