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: What paint rollers do professionals use?

• <div><p>Professional painters often use microfiber rollers since they hold more paint and allow the pros to cover a bigger surface area without having to stop frequently to reload the roller with more paint. Painters also use extension poles for a wider reach from one position, giving them more coverage with less moving around.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to spray paint or brush shutters?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spraying-vs-rolling-paint.htm">Spraying and brushing</a> both can lead to beautiful, evenly painted window shutters. Spraying is faster and easier, but it brings in an added cost, as paint sprayers are around <b>$100 to buy or $40 per day to rent</b>. If price is a determining factor, you can use a brush and rest assured that the results will be good nonetheless.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to use two or three coats of paint for exteriors?

• <div><p>Use at least two coats of paint for exteriors for better coverage and added durability. When painting lighter colors over darker colors, a third coat of paint may be necessary to achieve full coverage of your home&rsquo;s exterior. A durable paint specifically designed for the material of your home&rsquo;s exterior will last the longest.</p></div>
