There are times when you should remove all exterior paint before repainting. This includes when you need to get rid of lead-based paint (which should be done by a pro), or if you need to apply a different finish than what’s already there. Your house may also have too many pre-existing layers of old paint, in which case you’ll be better off getting rid of the old layers first.

Mediterranean architecture and decor usually focus on earth tones for the bulk of the interior and exterior, including red, terracotta, cream, and white. Some homes in this style use bright colors with ornate designs as accents, like tile floors or backsplashes, or smaller pieces of decor, like throw blankets, area rugs, and pillows. The Spanish Revival style tends to be more muted, while the Italian Renaissance style is more flashy and makes more use of bright accents. Modern Mediterranean homes can be either or provide a mix of both.

While epoxy paint specifically for tile backsplashes exists, it's not always necessary for every project. While epoxy paint is durable, it's also more costly than other types. High-quality enamel paints are suitable for most tile backsplash applications. They also have the added benefit of being more affordable in most cases.

First off, take a breath. The good news is that interior paint, especially when used outside, won’t harm your health. The bad news is that you’re going to have to reapply the proper exterior paint at some point in the not-so-distant future. Otherwise the current coat will chip, crack, and fade, or worse, develop mold or an insect infestation without remediation.
