How long does it take for paint to dry on a metal roof?

Q: Do you have to remove the toilet to paint the bathroom?

• <div><p>No, removing the toilet isn't the only way to paint every square inch of your bathroom. Using a thin roller, paintbrush, or paint pad can enable you to apply a new color within the tight squeeze between the toilet tank and the wall. While you can remove the toilet to access the space behind, it&rsquo;s often much more trouble than just taking care while painting. </p></div>

Q: Can I mix ceiling paint with wall paint?

• <div><p>You should not mix ceiling paint with wall paint. The results will be unpredictable, and you might end up with a finish that doesn&rsquo;t perform well on either surface. For example, the flatness of the ceiling paint may hamper the durability of the wall paint. It&rsquo;s best to use each type of paint as intended to get the best look and more longevity. </p></div>

Q: Should I use a brush or a roller for a paint touch-up?

• <div><p>When applying the first coat of touch-up paint, it is best to use a paint roller. A roller allows you to get a thin layer of paint to the area to avoid an unsightly blend with the old coat of paint. However, if you need to touch up the area a second time after the first coat has dried, a small brush will work best to avoid applying too much paint. </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...
