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>

Do you need to prime fiberglass before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, you should prime a fiberglass bathtub before painting it. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">primer</a> improves the paint’s adhesion, strengthening and increasing the durability of the final result. While you can buy primer separately, bathtub and tile refinishing kits come with a primer designed to work with the paint and hardener.</p></div>

Q: Can I use wall paint on the ceiling?

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: Is it okay to leave paint brushes in water overnight?

• <div><p>The only time that it's okay to leave a paintbrush in water overnight is when you're trying to remove dried-on paint. However, don't allow the bristles to rest on the bottom of the container. Remember that soaking it longer than necessary can damage the brush.</p></div>

Q: How long does exterior paint need to dry before it rains?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that&rsquo;s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. </p></div>

Q: How do I choose a brick paint color?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-right-paint-color-your-home.htm">Choosing the right paint color</a> for a major investment like painting the exterior brick on your house can be a daunting task. Perhaps the most important thing is to find painted brick houses that you like and replicate the look by researching their colors and asking the homeowners for the paint color code. If all else fails, white-painted brick is a timeless, classic look that is unlikely to go out of style. </p></div>

I had Anthony power wash the exterior of my elderly parentsâ home along with their sidewalks. He was very polite and professional and my mom absolutely loved him. The job was done with attention to detail. I highly recommend Plugman Powerwashing.
