Can you paint wires in a basement ceiling?

• <div><p>You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. </p><p>However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.</p></div>

Q: What are the typical costs associated with hanging and repairing artwork?

• <div><p>Costs vary widely based on complexity, piece value, and installation challenges, with typical rates from $50 to $500 for complex or large installations.</p></div>

Q: What is the best paint to paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>While you could conceivably select <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sheen-confusion-choosing-best-paint-finish.htm">any paint finish</a>, paintable wallpaper tends to look its best with a flat or eggshell finish. A higher gloss paint might make the texture pop more, but it can look a bit dated once the paint has dried. And don&rsquo;t worry about whether a water-based latex paint will loosen the wallpaper. Paintable wallpaper has a coating that prevents this from happening, so using latex paints without applying an oil-based primer to seal things first is fine.</p></div>

Q: Is repainting part of the repair process for plaster surfaces?

• <div><p>Many services include repainting to match the existing surface. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: What type of paint can I use on vinyl siding?

• <div><p>Acrylic latex paint is the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-exterior-paint.htm">best exterior paint</a> for vinyl siding. It adheres well to the vinyl surface, reducing the likelihood that the paint will peel or flake. </p><p>The paint color also matters. Choose a light color to prevent the paint from absorbing too much heat and to extend the durability of your paint job.</p></div>
