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>

Is it cheaper to paint a room yourself?

• <div><p>Assuming you have all of the supplies and materials needed to prep and paint, it will likely be less expensive to paint the room yourself, as it will only cost you the price of paint, which costs an average of <b>$15 to $60 per gallon</b>. Hiring a professional painter to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-paint-interior-house.htm">paint a room can cost</a> from <b>$950 to $3,000</b>, or <b>$2 to $6 per square foot</b>, depending on prep and materials involved. If you’re paying for labor only, expect to pay interior painters <b>$20 to $50 per hour</b>.</p></div>

Do you waste more paint spraying or rolling?

• <div><p>Sprayers use up to 30% more paint than rollers because of overspray. Some ways you can minimize the amount of wasted paint include selecting <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-paint-sprayers.htm">the best paint sprayer</a> for the job, choosing a lower pressure sprayer and using a lower pressure setting, keeping the sprayer well-maintained, not spraying on a windy day, and holding the sprayer at an appropriate distance from the surface. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of whitewash paint?

• <div><p>The disadvantages of whitewash paint can start when mixing the paint. Too much water can cause chipping and peeling later because the substrate did not fully absorb the solution. It's also difficult to control the consistency of the paint, resulting in an uneven finish. Remember, achieving desired results with whitewash demands skill and patience, as improper techniques can result in streaks, uneven coverage, or premature flaking, adding complexity to the process. </p></div>

Q: Can you German smear over painted brick?

• <div><p>A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance&mdash;so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.</p></div>
