Is limewashing less expensive than painting?

• <div><p>When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/limewash-vs-paint.htm">limewash versus paint</a>, the cost to limewash interior walls is greater, especially when hiring a pro. That’s because limewashing is more labor-intensive and takes more time to complete. While limewashing costs between $1.50 and $6 per square foot, a standard paint job will cost between $1.50 and $4 per square foot.</p></div>

Can lighting change how a paint color looks on the wall?

• <div><p>Absolutely. Natural light, incandescent bulbs, and LED lighting all impact how a color appears. For example, a cool gray under daylight might look slightly blue under warm interior lighting. That’s why it’s smart to check color matches at different times of day and under various lighting conditions. If a color match appears only slightly off, lighting may be the reason.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between knockdown and orange peel?

• <div><p>Knockdown and orange peel are two popular types of drywall textures. There are a couple of key differences, but the main one is the application process. When creating an orange peel texture, you spray the material onto the drywall. With knockdown, the first step is to spray, stomp, or brush the material onto the drywall. Then, you drag a tool (like a knife or trowel) over the material to create unique designs.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over old stucco?

• <div><p>Stucco is an easy material to paint over, and a fresh coat of paint can give it a new life in a few simple steps. Just ensure the wall is in good condition, and clean the existing stucco before you get started&mdash;along with filling in any minor cracks or gaps. Well-maintained stucco should take in the new paint quite well.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you paint metal without primer?

• <div><p>Metal is finicky, particularly when exposed to the elements. In other words, you should always prime your metal garage door before laying down paint. Primer not only helps the paint stick to the metal, but it also prevents rust from bleeding through. If you already have some rust and want to avoid it peeking out, cover the spots with a zinc chromate primer. </p></div>

They did just the places that required painting instead of having to do the whole house. They did scrape pretty well, but they missed a place. That was one thing I was upset about. We were traveling after that, so I didn't get a chance to bring them back. Their price was reasonable for all that...
