Q: How many coats of paint on wrought iron?

• <div><p>For the best results, you should apply two coats of paint to your wrought iron fence. Let your first coat dry for about an hour then promptly apply your second coat.</p></div>

Q: Can I use different paint finishes in one room?

• <div><p>Using different finishes within a room is the norm. For example, you might use eggshell on the walls, semi-gloss on the trim and doors, and flat on the ceiling. This creates contrast and highlights architectural details while allowing for better durability in high-touch areas. Just make sure to use a trim color that complements your walls.</p></div>

Q: How long does magnetic paint last?

• <div><p>Like any paint, the magnetic type has a shelf life. Depending on the formula and manufacturer, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-paint-last.htm">paint can last</a> between 12 months and 5 years for an unopened can. But even magnetic paint with a five-year shelf life can go bad sooner, depending on the storage location and temperature. Opening the tin and improperly resealing it also expedites expiration.</p><p>If your paint smells funky and is still lumpy after stirring, this is a sign it isn&rsquo;t usable anymore.</p></div>

Q: When should I use three coats of paint?

• <div><p>You should use three coats of paint when applying to a heavily textured or porous surface. Sometimes painting a lighter color over a darker color requires three coats of paint or more to achieve full, even coverage. Trim or baseboards should also get three coats of paint.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to paint over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/painting-over-wallpaper-its-possible.htm">paint over wallpaper</a> if it&rsquo;s smooth and in good shape. But if there are bumps or tears in the wallpaper, they&rsquo;ll likely show through the paint. Similarly, you should avoid painting over textured wallpaper because the ridges and patterns in the paper will be visible. In either of these situations, you should remove the wallpaper before painting.</p></div>
