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>

Q: How do you fix bubbling paint?

• <div><p>To fix bubbling paint, scrape away any loose or blistered areas using a putty knife. Lightly sand the surface to smooth out rough edges and create a level finish. Clean the area thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, and any residue. Once the surface is clean and dry, apply a quality primer suited to the material you're painting. Finally, repaint the area, making sure to work in proper temperature and humidity conditions to prevent new bubbles from forming. </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: How many coats of paint do professional painters use?

• <div><p>Professional painters usually use at least two coats of paint when adding a new color. Depending on the surface they&rsquo;re painting, painters may apply a primer coat before two coats of paint. Ceilings, trim, and baseboards typically get one coat of paint applying a fresh coat of the same color.</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...
