Q: What is the best paint for shower tile?

• <div><p>The best paints for shower tiles include epoxy, latex, or acrylic. Ideally, you should look for paints that are waterproof and mildew-resistant if you plan to paint shower or other bathroom tiles. You can even find waterproof paints made specifically for tiled surfaces, which will be the best option for shower tile paint that lasts as long as possible.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t wax chalk paint?

• <div><p>Not waxing chalk-painted furnishings leaves their surfaces susceptible to moisture damage and color fading over time.</p></div>

Q: Can you wait too long between coats of paint?

• <div><p>No&mdash;if you complete a full coat of paint, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-painting-techniques-make-walls-stand-out.htm">painting techniques</a> like cutting in and rolling, you could wait weeks or months between coats if you wanted. For best results, sand the first coat and clean the wall before applying the second.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t pressure wash before painting?

• <div><p>If the exterior walls are not thoroughly cleaned before a paint job, the paint could stick to the grime, creating obvious imperfections along the way. Beyond that, painting over a freshly-cleaned wall just about doubles the lifespan of the paint, from three or four years to seven to ten years. </p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint do you need to paint a room?

• <div><p>In most cases, you&rsquo;ll need two coats of paint to ensure proper coverage. If you put down a coat of primer first, you could get away with a single coat of paint, but you&rsquo;ll likely still need two coats. The only exception would be if you&rsquo;re painting with a light color over a dark color, in which case you may need three or four coats of paint to ensure the dark color doesn&rsquo;t show through the new paint. </p></div>

On May 21, 2024 I hired 360 Painting of Syracuse NY to paint my 6 family house located at 329 Macarthur Parkway, Oneida NY 13421. I have a signed contract with this company to do a complete paint at a total cost including tax of $17,711.00. Everything seemed great with a nice conversation on...

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...

John Eaton (JNE Construction) and his crew were fantastic. They showed up on time every day and worked a full day. Even though it was a messy job tearing out most of the corner seams of sheet rock installed not 10 yrs ago by a previous contractor, re-taping, and sanding, they cleaned up after...

They are very pleasant, amiable and very easy to deal with. Financing was easy with them. You do not need a construction loan. You put down 10% and then nothing else until the end. We are in upstate NY and during the coldest months the heat bill was $187.00. I used the pay $400 in our other...
