Q: Is it better to wallpaper or paint a bathroom?

• <div><p>Both paint and wallpaper can work in a bathroom, provided you choose high-quality products in either category. Washable vinyl wallpapers can stand up to bathroom humidity without peeling, as can semi-gloss or gloss paint finishes. However, if you&rsquo;re someone who likes to redecorate often, paint may make it easier to change colors or designs more quickly. If you want full humidity protection and cleanability, tile or stone works better.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint cabinets myself, or should I hire a professional?

• <div><p>DIY is possible with proper preparation and equipment, but a professional painter ensures smoother finishes, especially for intricate cabinetry.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint a metal awning?

• <div><p>Yes, using oil-based paints is an effective way to paint new metal awnings or update old ones. However, with the wide variety of pre-made kits available now, you might consider just upgrading or purchasing the color of metal awnings you wish instead of painting. </p><p>If your old awnings are still in good shape, painting might make sense. As an added bonus, painting an aluminum awning may also help prevent corrosion.</p></div>

Q: Will house painters expect a tip?

• <div><p>While painters won&rsquo;t expect a tip, they may accept one if you offer&mdash;which means any amount of tipping you do is above and beyond, even if it&rsquo;s just $10 or $20 per painter. Instead of monetary tips, many painters prefer their customers to leave them positive online reviews, which can line their pockets in the form of future business opportunities.</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.
