Q: Do specific finishes work better with certain types of colors?

• <div><p>Depending on your lighting and design style, some finishes will enhance certain colors to your liking more than others. For example, high-gloss finishes can intensify deeper shades such as navy blue and emerald green, making them feel luxurious and bold. On the other hand, you may appreciate how soft pastels and neutrals have a more calming, smooth feel in matte or eggshell finishes. </p></div>

Q: What paint is best for textured walls?

• <div><p>Latex paint is one of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-paint-explained.htm">best paint types</a> for textured walls. This water-based paint is fast-drying and has low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it safer and more convenient for painting walls that require several coats of paint. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re painting exterior walls, you can also consider using oil-based paint, but keep in mind that it takes much longer to dry and can slow your project down considerably.</p></div>

Q: What color should I have my cabinets painted?

• <div><p>With so many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/kitchen-cabinet-colors.htm">color choices for cabinets</a>, you have many different ways to bring personality to your kitchen (or any other room where you are updating your cabinets). The color you choose to paint your cabinets should reflect your personal style but can also match existing wall colors or appliances. Some colors to choose from include:</p><ul><li><p>White</p></li><li><p>Navy</p></li><li><p>Grey</p></li><li><p>Green</p></li><li><p>Taupe</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long after wet-sanding drywall can I paint?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important to wait until the drywall is completely dry before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-walls.htm">painting the wall</a>. This can take up to 24 hours. If you paint while the drywall is still wet, the paint could bubble, peel, or have trouble sticking to the wall. To speed up the drying process, you can turn on a fan, run a dehumidifier, or open windows.</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.
