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>

Q: How to avoid roller marks when painting?

• <div><p>Roller marks are streaks or smudges that show up on the wall after painting. They can make the paint's surface look textured or uneven. To prevent roller marks, make sure there's enough paint on the roller when you apply it to the wall. You may have to dip the roller in the paint more frequently than you expect to ensure you have an adequate amount of paint on it.</p><p>Choosing the right type of roller can also help you avoid streaks and marks. If you're painting an interior wall, look for a roller with a low nap and choose one that's large enough for the job.</p></div>

Q: Can You Paint Over Limewash?

• <div><p>Yes. If you change your mind at some point in the future, you can paint over your limewash. To get an even coat of paint, you should first prep your surface by cleaning it thoroughly and applying an appropriate primer. Since limewash has a matte finish once it&rsquo;s dry, you likely don&rsquo;t even need to sand it first.</p></div>

Q: Is powder coating less expensive than traditional painting?

• <div><p>Powder coating can be less expensive than traditional spray painting. If you&rsquo;re doing it yourself, upfront costs can be hundreds or even thousands of dollars higher than hiring a pro. But if you plan to powder coat many items and use the oven and gun often, the upfront cost may be worth it. </p></div>

Q: How do you hide wallpaper seams when painting?

• <div><p>You can hide wallpaper seams when painting by applying joint compound over them and then sanding thoroughly until smooth. You&rsquo;ll want to apply two layers of compound, allowing for four to eight hours between coats. Do a light sanding between coats and then after the final coat is dry. Once the compound dries completely, you can begin priming and painting the wall.</p></div>

I had to *ask* him to come back to clean the paint off of my hundred-year-old woodwork (because he failed to properly prep) and then he used a screwdriver (?!?!) to do so, which left gouging in the wood. It was not in pristine condition, but it did not have any chunks out of it until he got...
