What paint lasts the longest on wood?

• <div><p>Acrylic paint is the best choice for painting wood if you want a finish that will last for years to come.

Q: What is the best primer for peeling paint?

• <div><p>Numerous primers on the market will do the job of covering peeling paint. The best primers for peeling paint are bonding or adhesive primers that essentially glue the edges of peeling paint back to the subsurface while providing a smooth, even surface for the new paint coat. </p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over soot?

• <div><p>No, you cannot paint over soot. Soot is a type of contaminant and if not properly removed can cause further damage to your paint and walls. Adding paint directly over soot can result in your paint color changing in appearance and potentially peeling over time. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between flat and matte paints?

• <div><p>While often used interchangeably, flat and matte paints are not the same. Flat paint has no gloss and is completely shine-free, while matte has up to 10% resin, giving it a slightly velvety appearance. That small amount of gloss in matte paint gives it a more elegant, modern appearance than flat paint, though flat paint is ideal for hiding imperfections in even the most dented, scratched, and repeatedly repaired surfaces. </p></div>

Q: What is the best paint finish for painted shutters?

• <div><p>While flat and satin finishes are ideal for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choose-right-finish-your-front-door.htm">garage or front doors</a>, siding, and trim, gloss and semi-gloss are more common on shutters. That&rsquo;s because these types of finishes highlight this proportionally smaller exterior home feature, adding both contrast and layers of texture to the overall facade. Other types of finishes aren&rsquo;t off limits, but you&rsquo;ll have more success by choosing one that provides a nice sheen. </p></div>
