Do you add water to paint when using a spray gun?

• <div><p>You can sometimes add water to your spray gun, depending on the design of your sprayer and the type of paint, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/satin-vs-semi-gloss.htm">paint finish</a>, or sealant. In many cases, mixing in around 10% percent of water to the paint makes for an easier application process and further evens out the mist. Read the instructions to make sure this is an appropriate step.</p></div>

Q: Why use chalk paint versus regular paint?

• <div><p>Homeowners may choose chalk paint over regular paint if they want to hide all of the wood&rsquo;s grain, don&rsquo;t want to apply a large number of coats, and like the extreme matte appearance. Chalk paint is easier to work with than regular paint and adds a unique texture to furniture that regular paint just can&rsquo;t match. </p></div>

Q: What should be included in a painting quote?

• <div><p>A painting quote should include a breakdown of material and labor costs, a detailed description of the scope of work, an estimated timeline for the project, a cost breakdown for any necessary prep work, payment terms, and information on warranties or quality guarantees. If your painter is supplying the materials, the quote should also include the quantity of paint needed, as well as the brand and color.</p></div>

Q: Do you use a roller or brush to paint textured walls?

• <div><p>Use a roller with a high nap to paint into the textured dips and cover the raised sections of your walls without leaving any sections uncovered. After applying paint using the high-nap roller, you use a paintbrush to cover any missed spots. Applying two or three coats of paint using this method should provide plenty of coverage.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint a popcorn ceiling?

• <div><p>If your popcorn ceiling is asbestos-free and you are ready for a new look, painting is an option. As long as there is no flaking or other wear, a new coat of paint might be just the thing to refresh the old ceiling. The best way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-popcorn-ceilings.htm">paint a popcorn ceiling</a> is to use either a paint sprayer or a thick roller to cover the popcorn texture fully. (Do not forget to dust it off beforehand!)</p><p>&ldquo;Note that if you eventually want to remove the popcorn ceiling, a painted ceiling is a labor-intensive job to remove and will cost more,&rdquo; says Bob Tschudi. &ldquo;Once painted, the process of removing the popcorn ceiling requires physical scraping as opposed to a spray-and-scrape approach. It&rsquo;s very labor-intensive, and thus more costly.&rdquo;</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...
