What does it mean when a window is painted shut?

• <div><p>When a window is painted shut, this means that paint has gotten into the cracks when window sashes or window frames were being painted. It’s pretty easy for this sort of thing to happen while painting, but sometimes homeowners will use paint to seal drafty windows, which will often cause them to get stuck shut.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over paneling without sanding?

• <div><p>It's possible to paint over paneling without sanding if you use a primer that masks defects and provides a strong base layer for the final coat of paint to adhere to. If you have solid wood paneling, it's helpful to sand it lightly so your primer and paint stick. But, if your paneling has a faux veneer, skip the sanding because you&rsquo;ll remove a layer and expose the pressed board underneath.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use over wallpaper?

• <div><p>If you decide to paint over wallpaper, it&rsquo;s important to prep the surface with an oil- or shellac-based primer. This helps prevent moisture from creating bubbles loosening the adhesive. Plus, a primer helps paint attach to the wall smoothly and securely. Use quality <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-paints-latex-vs-acrylic.htm">oil-based or latex paint</a> to cover the wallpaper. Be prepared to cover the wallpaper with two coats for maximum coverage.</p></div>

Q: Should I use a paint sprayer like the pros?

• <div><p>When you hire a professional painter, this expert may use a paint sprayer to repaint a room instead of a roller and brushes. Using a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spraying-vs-rolling-paint.htm">paint sprayer versus a roller</a> for a DIY job can be tough for a beginner. The cost of renting or buying a sprayer will be higher than buying rollers and brushes. It can be tough to ensure even coverage with a sprayer when you&rsquo;re a beginner. Avoiding splatters and overspray in other areas of the room can be difficult, too. Sprayers will save a lot of time, though. </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>

The cabinets I have are not supposed to be able to paint per the manufactor. The product that Nhance uses works beautifully over any cabinet. My cabs were expresso changed to an off white color with a glaze. Much lower price than replacing the cabinets.
