Are expensive paint brands better than budget paint brands?

• <div><p>In some cases, expensive, premium paint brands are better than their budget paint brand competitors, but that isn’t always the case. BEHR® and PPG Paint® companies are moderately priced and still offer great coverage and durability. What’s more, each paint brand offers a variety of paint lines—each with its own pros and cons.</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: Do cinder blocks need to be primed before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, cinder blocks must be primed before painting. Without primer, your paint won't stick to the surface of the blocks. You should use a bonding and filling primer which fills all of the small pores of your blocks. Once the primer dries, you'll have a smoother surface to work with and your paint will stick easily to the blocks.</p></div>

Q: Is it best to paint tiles with a brush or roller?

• <div><p>Whether you use a brush or roller depends on the size, shape, and amount of tiles. Rollers are easier to maneuver over large areas and can apply a more even coat of paint in a shorter time frame with no visible brushstrokes. Brushes are best for precision work, particularly in very small areas. If you don't want visible brushstrokes on your painted tiles, you can paint details with small foam brushes instead of bristled paint brushes.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best way to paint metal?

• <div><p>Brushes, rollers, and spray paint are the best ways to paint metal surfaces, depending on your project goals. Spray paint is the easiest method for painting metal and can make painting complicated pieces with many curves and grooves a breeze. However, using traditional paint with a roller or brush creates a harder, more durable finish.</p></div>

Really well. Pressure washing looks great and it was a tough job with a lot of mildew and overhanging roofs. The interior painting went very well too. Price was great, very attentive to details, on schedule, easy to communicate with the owners who oversaw the work every day.
