Can you paint over stained wood?

• <div><p>Yes, it’s possible to paint over stained wood. Keep in mind that you’ll need to remove as much of the remaining stain as possible before applying a new coat of paint. Choosing the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-paint-for-cabinets.htm">best paint for kitchen cabinets</a> comes down to your priorities and preferences, but you can use oil-based, water-based latex, or hybrid enamel paint.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint a room in one day?

• <div><p>If you have the room prepped and ready to paint first thing in the morning, you may be able to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-room.htm">paint a room</a> in one day. Spackling, patching, and priming require time to dry before painting, so those steps will likely take you beyond the span of a workday. If you count the time it takes to prep, prime (if needed), and paint, the project will likely take a couple of days.</p></div>

Q: How do I know when spray paint is dry?

• <div><p>Most spray paint is fully dry after 24 hours, but knowing when the spray paint is dry depends on the type of dry paint criteria. Surface dry is a surface that&rsquo;s dry enough for you to apply another coat of paint. Touch dryness is a little dryer than surface dryness and will feel dry if you gently touch it, but it&rsquo;s really wet underneath the initial touch. Hard dry feels fully dry but can dent or smudge upon extra pressure. Thoroughly dry paint is completely dry. </p></div>

Q: How long does magnetic paint last?

• <div><p>Like any paint, the magnetic type has a shelf life. Depending on the formula and manufacturer, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-paint-last.htm">paint can last</a> between 12 months and 5 years for an unopened can. But even magnetic paint with a five-year shelf life can go bad sooner, depending on the storage location and temperature. Opening the tin and improperly resealing it also expedites expiration.</p><p>If your paint smells funky and is still lumpy after stirring, this is a sign it isn&rsquo;t usable anymore.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over stained wood?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to paint over stained wood. Keep in mind that you&rsquo;ll need to remove as much of the remaining stain as possible before applying a new coat of paint. Choosing the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-paint-for-cabinets.htm">best paint for kitchen cabinets</a> comes down to your priorities and preferences, but you can use oil-based, water-based latex, or hybrid enamel paint.</p></div>

Q: What is the disadvantage of black paint?

• <div><p>Black paint absorbs light, so using black paint will cause your room to look darker overall. In addition to reducing ambient light, black paint can make your space feel smaller because it hides depth and contours. The other major drawback is that black paint is harder to paint over with a lighter color. You&rsquo;ll need to fully prime your wall with a good quality primer and use at least two coats of paint to get back to a lighter color after it&rsquo;s been painted black.</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.
