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’ll want to wait at least four hours before applying another coat and anywhere between 2 days and 2 weeks before polishing. </p></div>

Q: What is the best paint finish for painted shutters?

• <div><p>While flat and satin finishes are ideal for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choose-right-finish-your-front-door.htm">garage or front doors</a>, siding, and trim, gloss and semi-gloss are more common on shutters. That&rsquo;s because these types of finishes highlight this proportionally smaller exterior home feature, adding both contrast and layers of texture to the overall facade. Other types of finishes aren&rsquo;t off limits, but you&rsquo;ll have more success by choosing one that provides a nice sheen. </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 much does a 5-gallon bucket of paint weigh?

• <div><p>Since the average weight for a gallon of paint is between 7 and 12 pounds per gallon, the average weight of a 5-gallon bucket of paint will be around 35 to 60 pounds. The weight of your paint will depend on the quality and type of paint, with richer colors derived from heavy metals or natural earth pigments weighing the most and synthetically-derived paints weighing the least. </p></div>

Q: How long will painted tile backsplash last?

• <div><p>Taking the time to properly prepare your tile backsplash before painting and treating it with care afterward is the best way to ensure its longevity. While the tile can last for the life of the home, you may have to repaint it after a few years. However, using only mild cleanser and water to keep it clean can maximize the paint's lifespan.</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...

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...
