Do you need to prime composite decking before painting?

• <div><p>It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion. </p></div>

Q: Do you need to prime composite decking before painting?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion. </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: Can I sleep in a room with low-VOC paint?

• <div><p>In many cases, you can sleep in a room painted with low-VOC paint on the same day you painted it. You&rsquo;ll want to give it at least 10 hours to allow any lingering chemicals to dissipate. However, it can still have an odor for about a day after painting, so you may want to add extra ventilation or adjust your sleeping arrangements if you&rsquo;re particularly sensitive. </p><p>No-VOC paint is generally odorless and won&rsquo;t emit toxic chemicals, so it&rsquo;s even safer and more comfortable to sleep near after a fresh paint job.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime a fiberglass door before painting?

• <div><p>Because of its chemical composition, you don&rsquo;t need to prime fiberglass before painting. Paint will adhere without issues and have a smooth, even appearance without needing a primer coat. However, a top coat may be necessary to limit damages from weather and ensure you don&rsquo;t need to repaint your door so soon. </p></div>

Q: Is it bad to paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can paint over wallpaper, but it&rsquo;s not usually recommended, especially if the wallpaper underneath is textured or dirty. If you do decide to paint your wallpaper, make sure it&rsquo;s in good condition and clean it very well. Make sure all corners and edges of wallpaper are glued down before you paint, as well.</p></div>
