How do you get paint to stay on plastic?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to get paint to stay on a plastic surface is by removing old, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-peeling-paint.htm">peeling paint </a>from your plastic surface and cleaning the plastic. Once you’ve cleaned the surface thoroughly, you can prime it with a plastic paint primer, wait for it to cure, and then apply high-quality paint that manufacturers have designed specifically for plastic surfaces.</p></div>

How long does an exterior paint job last?

• <div><p>An exterior paint job lasts an average of 5 to 10 years, although some might only last 2 or 3 years and others up to 20 years. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-will-your-paint-job-last.htm">How often you need to paint your home’s exterior</a> depends on various factors.

Q: What is the best primer for peeling paint?

• <div><p>Numerous primers on the market will do the job of covering peeling paint. The best primers for peeling paint are bonding or adhesive primers that essentially glue the edges of peeling paint back to the subsurface while providing a smooth, even surface for the new paint coat. </p></div>

Q: What gives the smoothest paint finish?

• <div><p>A combination of different things will give you the smoothest paint finish. Cleaning properly, sanding, using the right paint and paintbrush, straining the paint, and using select paint additives will all contribute to a smooth paint finish. If you&rsquo;re not confident in your DIY ability, you can always hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/interior-painting/">local interior painter</a> to do the job for you.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint furniture without sanding it?

• <div><p>Chalk paint can be applied without sanding first. Keep in mind that while there are a lot of chalk paint color options available, there aren&rsquo;t as many choices as latex or oil-based paint.</p><p>You can also learn how to paint furniture without sanding using a liquid deglosser, sometimes referred to as liquid sandpaper. This can remove any old paint, gloss, or varnish, without the need to manually sand. Apply the deglosser using a cloth, then wait for the chemical to penetrate through the surface. Once it soaks through, you should be able to wipe away the residue with a towel. </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...
