How do you prepare a wall for black paint?

• <div><p>First, make sure that you tape off all the areas that you don’t want to paint black. It’s harder to paint a light color over black than to touch up any lighter spots you missed. Once you’ve taped it off, make sure that the surface is clean and smooth, and then prime the wall with a tinted primer in gray. This step will help to transition from a lighter color to a darker one.</p></div>

What is the best type of paint finish to use?

• <div><p>Paint comes in a variety of finishes. In most cases, a satin or semi-gloss sheen is a safe bet because it’s easy to wipe down and clean, while hiding scuffs and scratches. However, if you’re looking for a statement piece, consider using a high-gloss sheen to bring drama and light into the space. Keep in mind, while visually striking, higher sheens are more likely to show imperfections.</p></div>

Do you need to prime fiberglass before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, you should prime a fiberglass bathtub before painting it. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">primer</a> improves the paint’s adhesion, strengthening and increasing the durability of the final result. While you can buy primer separately, bathtub and tile refinishing kits come with a primer designed to work with the paint and hardener.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to prime stucco before painting?

• <div><p>Priming stucco before painting is not an absolute requirement, but applying a primer coat is recommended. Primer is designed to serve as a strong bonding agent between the stucco surface and the outer paint layers. Using a primer can also help produce even coverage and color for a better-looking final product.</p></div>

Q: How long does painting take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 1-3 days per room, depending on the size and preparation required.</p></div>

We had a wonderful experience with a re-modeller. He came recommended by a friend. He is amazing. He has a number of people that work with him. You name it and he does it. I never even got paint on my bushes when he painted my exterior. Amazing.
