Q: Is primer necessary before painting?

• <div><p>In most cases, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">paint primer</a> is necessary before painting over wood paneling. A hardy primer formula covers up stains and leaves a grippy surface for the new paint to hold onto. If you don&rsquo;t use a primer first, you risk poor adhesion, visible blemishes, and a paint top coat that could flake away later. </p><p>There are two primer choices: oil-based or latex-based. Choose an oil-based primer for durability and adhesion, but prepare for extra dry time and more VOC (volatile organic compounds) fumes. Or, pick a stain-blocking latex primer. They&rsquo;re easy to apply, clean up, and affordable.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include painting?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include painting or staining the trim. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: Can I spray paint my laminate countertops?

• <div><p>You can likely use spray paint or a paint sprayer for your laminate countertops. You should prep the space the same way as if you were painting with a roller or brush, making sure to cover any areas that you want to protect with a drop cloth or plastic sheets.</p></div>

Q: What is the best type of paint to use for whitewash?

• <div><p>Generally, any type of house paint, such as latex, acrylic, or mineral paint, will work for whitewashing. Paints with a matte or semi-gloss finish work best. If you have leftover white paint from another project, whitewashing can be a great way to use up paint that might have otherwise gone to waste. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: Can I paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-paintable-wallpaper.htm">paint over existing wallpaper</a> if you select wallpaper that is designed to be paintable. This type of paper is meant to add texture to walls. Alternatively, if you have old wallpaper you&rsquo;d like to cover up, you can often paint over that instead of removing it. However, it needs to be smooth, damage-free, and non-textured. Otherwise, any bumps, tears, and texture will show through the paint.</p></div>
