Is black paint hard to paint with?

• <div><p>The color of your paint shouldn’t make it harder to apply, but it can be harder to cover in one coat, depending on the surface. Using a good quality primer that’s tinted gray will help make applying your black paint easier. Even with a primer, you will likely have to use two coats to get a perfect, solid black finish.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t wax chalk paint?

• <div><p>Not waxing chalk-painted furnishings leaves their surfaces susceptible to moisture damage and color fading over time.</p></div>

Q: Can I use leftover paint from several years ago to touch up?

• <div><p>It may be possible to touch up with leftover paint, but don&rsquo;t consider it Plan A. Even if the can is sealed, older paint may change color or consistency over time, especially if stored in fluctuating temperatures. Stir thoroughly and test in a discrete area first. If the paint looks noticeably different when dry, it&rsquo;s better to get a fresh match using the code or color name on the can.</p></div>

Q: What are the most common colors used in transitional design?

• <div><p>Most transitional designs incorporate a neutral color palate using taupe, tan, beige, and white as the primary hues, with dark brown, navy blue, or black accessories thrown in to add some depth and contrast. Fixtures are chosen to contrast with the room's primary color, frequently chrome, brass, brushed gold, brushed nickel, or matte black.</p></div>
