Can I use wall paint on the ceiling?

• <div><p>You can technically use wall paint on a ceiling, but it’s not ideal. Wall paint is thinner and more prone to dripping, which makes it harder—and messier—to apply overhead. Any significant level of sheen can highlight ceiling imperfections and create glare from lighting. Flat ceiling paint is the better choice for a smooth, even finish that hides flaws. </p></div>

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: Can I use wall paint on the ceiling?

• <div><p>You can technically use wall paint on a ceiling, but it&rsquo;s not ideal. Wall paint is thinner and more prone to dripping, which makes it harder&mdash;and messier&mdash;to apply overhead. Any significant level of sheen can highlight ceiling imperfections and create glare from lighting. Flat ceiling paint is the better choice for a smooth, even finish that hides flaws. </p></div>

Q: How long does flat paint last on walls?

• <div><p>Flat paint has a much shorter life span than other finishes due to the lack of protective gloss. How long flat paint lasts on walls will depend on sun exposure, moisture, temperature variations, how often it is cleaned, and more. While it&rsquo;s impossible to give an exact number, don&rsquo;t be surprised if you need to repaint walls with flat paint every few years.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint roller gives the smoothest finish?

• <div><p>A foam roller or a roller with a very short nap will give you the smoothest finish, especially when working with glossy paints. Thicker rollers will leave a slight texture on the wall, and shiny paint will reflect light, highlighting the imperfections.</p></div>

Q: Is it best to paint tiles with a brush or roller?

• <div><p>Whether you use a brush or roller depends on the size, shape, and amount of tiles. Rollers are easier to maneuver over large areas and can apply a more even coat of paint in a shorter time frame with no visible brushstrokes. Brushes are best for precision work, particularly in very small areas. If you don't want visible brushstrokes on your painted tiles, you can paint details with small foam brushes instead of bristled paint brushes.</p></div>

West Texas Exteriors is the BEST! I have had my siding for 10 years and it looks as good today as it did the day it was installed. Weather and water affected some of the siding on a porch post, but they fixed it when I reported the damage. They do what they say they will. I highly recommend...

The paint job they did on my metal siding was great, perfect color match, clean look, and they cleaned up the yard after finishing. Waiting for our door to arrive for them to finish the job.

This was a travesty from start to finish. We have learned a valuable lesson. We did not hire Sam Revilla. He was brought on by our kitchen remodel man who knew Sam. Sam was hired in February and did not deliver our substandard cabinets until the last week in April. As I stated above, our...
