Q: What kind of paint do you use on a backsplash?

• <div><p>While epoxy paint specifically for tile backsplashes exists, it's not always necessary for every project. While epoxy paint is durable, it's also more costly than other types. High-quality enamel paints are suitable for most tile backsplash applications. They also have the added benefit of being more affordable in most cases. </p></div>

Q: What kind of paint roller gives the smoothest finish?

• <div><p>A foam roller or a roller with a very short nap will give you the smoothest finish, especially when working with glossy paints. Thicker rollers will leave a slight texture on the wall, and shiny paint will reflect light, highlighting the imperfections.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of whitewash do I need?

• <div><p>The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. </p></div>

Q: Should I use paint thinner or mineral spirits to clean paint brushes?

• <div><p>You can use either paint thinner or mineral spirits to clean paint brushes, but both have distinct advantages. Paint thinners are better solvents, making them a good option if you need to clean your brushes quickly or if you are dealing with dried paint, which mineral spirits can&rsquo;t remove. On the other hand, mineral spirits have less toxicity, less odor, and lower volatility. It is safer to use indoors and doesn&rsquo;t evaporate as quickly if you need to leave the brushes to soak.</p></div>

Wes from Smith Paining responded to my job request on Angi and the very next day was out to look at the house and give me an estimate for power washing the siding and scrape & repaint the foundation. He was very understanding when I had to put the job on hold until the landscaper finished up, so...
