Q: Can I paint latex over acrylic?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s fine to paint over acrylic paint with latex paint as long as the surface is properly prepped. If your paint surface isn&rsquo;t glossy, you should be able to apply your paint or primer directly to it. If your acrylic surface is glossy, rough up the surface with some sandpaper first and use a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">good primer</a> to ensure proper adhesion for your latex paint.</p></div>

Q: Can a beginner use a paint sprayer?

• <div><p>Beginners can absolutely use a paint sprayer, but there is some technique involved, so you&rsquo;ll have to spend some time learning how to use your sprayer. It&rsquo;s a good idea to practice on a scrap surface before moving to your actual painting project to get used to using the sprayer. This can help avoid over spraying, which can lead to drips, bubbles, and other imperfections on your finished product. </p></div>

Q: Is it OK to paint over dirty walls?

• <div><p>Dirty or not, you should always <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-walls.htm">clean the wall</a> beforehand. Even if the wall looks sparkling clean to the naked eye, it&rsquo;s good practice to wipe it down with a damp rag and mild detergent. Leftover dirt, dust, and residue can create unsightly textures or interfere with the paint&rsquo;s adherence to the wall. You&rsquo;ll never regret cleaning it, but you might regret skipping this step.</p></div>

Q: What is the downside of painting brick?

• <div><p>While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.</p><p>Painting brick is porous, meaning it&rsquo;s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.</p><p>Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you&rsquo;ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it&rsquo;s hard to go back without some serious power washing&mdash;another added cost.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over mold?

• <div><p>Painting over mold is not an effective solution and can actually make the problem worse. Instead, it traps moisture, which allows mold to grow and spread beneath the surface. Mold must be completely removed before painting to ensure the problem doesn&rsquo;t recur. If mold is painted over, it may eventually seep through the new layer of paint, causing discoloration and peeling.</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...
