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>

Q: How do you know if a mist coat has worked?

• <div><p>You can test to see if your mist coat has worked by using masking tape after the drying period. Apply masking tape to an inconspicuous area of the wall after the mist coat has had at least 24 hours to dry. Then, peel off the tape. It should come up clear, with no paint residue. If it does have paint residue, you may need to remove the mist coat and try coating the plaster again with a different ratio of paint and water.</p></div>

Q: Do you paint shiplap with a roller or brush?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re painting shiplap, the best way to get full coverage is actually to use both a paintbrush and a roller. You can start by using a brush to cut in the edges and fill in the gaps and finer grooves of the wood. Then, you can go back over the entire space with a roller to ensure an even, smooth finish. </p></div>

Q: Can I use a roller to paint my cabinets?

• <div><p>In many cases, you can use a roller to paint detached cabinet doors and cabinet sides more quickly. However, expect at least some brush or spray gun work to complete the project, especially if your cabinets have complex insets, which are difficult to paint with a roller.</p></div>

Q: How long does paint lacquer take to dry?

• <div><p>Though it depends on the exact type, most paint lacquers only take about 15 to 30 minutes to dry. However, you&rsquo;ll want to wait at least four hours before applying another coat and anywhere between 2 days and 2 weeks before polishing. </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.
