Can you paint wires in a basement ceiling?

• <div><p>You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. </p><p>However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.</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: Is painting a garage floor a good idea?

• <div><p>There are many benefits to painting a garage floor, especially if you use an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/epoxy-coating-transforms-boring-flooring.htm">epoxy floor coating</a>. In general, paint makes your garage easier to clean. Since concrete is porous, it tends to absorb things like dirt, grime, mildew, oil, and grease. Paint&mdash;specifically epoxy-based paint&mdash;creates a barrier that helps you easily mop up the mess before it stains or is difficult to remove. </p></div>

Q: How do you know if a mist coat has worked?

• <div><p>You can test to see if your mist coat has worked by using masking tape after the drying period. Apply masking tape to an inconspicuous area of the wall after the mist coat has had at least 24 hours to dry. Then, peel off the tape. It should come up clear, with no paint residue. If it does have paint residue, you may need to remove the mist coat and try coating the plaster again with a different ratio of paint and water.</p></div>

Q: How often do you have to paint a stucco house?

• <div><p>Stucco by itself is durable, but even paint made for harsh environmental conditions requires regular maintenance and upkeep. In other words, repaint your stucco every five to 10 years, depending on its current condition. Trust your senses. If it looks fine, it probably is fine. If it looks cracked and worn down, give it a new coat.</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.
