Which is better: enamel or latex paint?

• <div><p>If you’re looking for durability or outdoor use, opt for enamel paint. Enamel paint is typically oil- or lacquer-based, so it dries hard and it’s ideal for exposure to the elements. Latex paint is water-based and has more flexibility when it dries so it won’t hold up as well to changes in temperature or exposure to wind, sun, or rain.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to sand crown molding before painting?

• <div><p>In most cases, you have to sand crown molding before painting. This is due to the nature and design of molding. It&rsquo;s not a flat wall, so uneven surfaces will be immediately noticeable once that paint dries. Sanding down the surface smooths everything out, leading to a satisfactory result. If the trim is already smooth, such as with new crown molding, you can give it a light sand with 120-grit sandpaper. </p></div>

Q: Which paint roller is best for walls?

• <div><p>A 7 to 12-inch wide microfiber or synthetic paint roller with a nap of 3/8 to 1/2 an inch will give you smooth, even paint coverage on interior walls. Before getting started, wrap painter&rsquo;s tape around the roller cover to remove any lint or fibers that may end up embedded in the paint, ruining your even finish.</p></div>

Q: How long will the paint last?

• <div><p>How long your paint job lasts depends on the quality of the work and the type of paint used. If you clean the siding first, apply a primer if needed, and choose the right type of paint, the finish can last five to 10 years. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to use two or three coats of paint for exteriors?

• <div><p>Use at least two coats of paint for exteriors for better coverage and added durability. When painting lighter colors over darker colors, a third coat of paint may be necessary to achieve full coverage of your home&rsquo;s exterior. A durable paint specifically designed for the material of your home&rsquo;s exterior will last the longest.</p></div>
