How many coats of spray paint should I apply?

• <div><p>You should apply at least two coats of paint to your project, but some surfaces may benefit from a third coat of paint. Ensure you’ve waited the right length of time before applying a second or third coat of paint, and try to apply it evenly for a cohesive finish.</p></div>

How do you open a plastic-sealed paint can?

• <div><p>Although plastic-sealed paint cans can look tricky, you can open them with adjustable pliers in no time. Grip the plastic seal with the pliers and pull the seal up, moving around the seal until you’ve pried the plastic up in enough spots. Then, you can grab the seal and pop it off the top of the paint can. Depending on the strength of the seal, you may even be able to remove the seal with just your hands by pulling upwards.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best interior paint color to sell a house?

• <div><p>Using a neutral paint palette is the best way to help your house appeal to a wide range of buyers. Think beyond bright whites and overexposed grays, though&mdash;taupes, ivories, and off-whites can add visual interest without looking too stark.</p></div>

Q: Can you wallpaper or paint over existing wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can wallpaper and paint over certain types of wallpaper, but it&rsquo;s usually a better idea to remove it first. Removing the wallpaper and prepping the wall before painting is a good way to guarantee a smooth finish that looks professional. If you ever have a moisture or water issue after painting over wallpaper, the paper will bubble and damage your wall. Additionally, you should never paint over wallpaper already peeling or otherwise damaged, as this will leave obvious imperfections in your wall and could lead to additional problems.</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>

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.
