Can I paint over old paint?

• <div><p>You’ll often have picture-perfect results by painting over the old color. However, if you’re transitioning from a dark wall color to a light one, you’ll want to use a primer first to save yourself from applying multiple coats for coverage. Also, if you’re moving from an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-paints-latex-vs-acrylic.htm">oil-based paint</a> to a water-based one and vice versa, you’ll want to use a primer. Don’t forget to spackle over any holes or dents before adding your new paint color.</p></div>

Can you paint concrete with a roller?

• <div><p>You can paint concrete with paint rollers. In fact, using paint rollers is considered one of the easiest ways to evenly apply paint on concrete. A paint roller with a 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick nap—which is basically a fabric paint roller cover—is best for painting concrete. The thicker the nap, the more paint it can hold to fill those pesky concrete cracks and crevices.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to paint the exterior of a house?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-house-exterior.htm">cost to paint the exterior of a house</a> ranges from $1,900 to $4,500 or about <b>$1.50 to $4 per square foot</b>, depending on the size, height, and complexity of the home layout. Other cost factors include your location, the type of siding (e.g., wood, aluminum, brick, stucco, etc.), and the kind of paint (e.g. oil-based, latex, acrylic, etc.). Painting the trim a different color or painting intricately designed trim can also increase the cost.</p></div>

Q: How long after wet-sanding drywall can I paint?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important to wait until the drywall is completely dry before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-walls.htm">painting the wall</a>. This can take up to 24 hours. If you paint while the drywall is still wet, the paint could bubble, peel, or have trouble sticking to the wall.
