What kind of paint works best on concrete?

• <div><p>Epoxy paint is a popular option for concrete due to its durability and stain resistance. You can also use masonry paint, which adheres well to concrete. Acrylic paints are more affordable but not as durable. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-stain-vs-paint.htm">Concrete stain</a> is another option, which is more durable than paint and won’t peel over time. </p></div>

Q: When is the best time to paint gutters?

• <div><p>The best time to paint gutters is when the weather forecast predicts clear skies and low humidity. High humidity will likely prolong dry time, and rainy or snowy conditions may ruin your hard work before it can cure. If you have no other option than to work in inclement weather, consider choosing paint with a faster dry time, like acrylic or latex, rather than one that takes a while, like oil paint.</p></div>

Q: Is a paint sprayer beginner-friendly?

• <div><p>Sure, but go slowly and read the instructions thoroughly before trying it. It helps to watch tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer type and model. Additionally, if you are new to the world of paint sprayers, mask up, wear gloves, and avoid accidentally touching the tip when in use, especially with high-powered airless sprayers.</p></div>

Q: Should I paint before refinishing wood steps?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/refinishing-wood-steps.htm">Refinishing wood steps</a> before painting the surrounding walls or trim is the best option. Sanding stair treads creates fine dust that can settle on freshly painted surfaces and interfere with adhesion. Plus, refinishing involves heavy foot traffic, equipment, and potential splashes from stain or sealant, which can damage new paint. By tackling the stairs first, you reduce the risk of damaging painted walls and can more easily tape off and protect surfaces during painting.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of paint sprayers?

• <div><p>Paint sprayers come with a few disadvantages, with the most notable being the up-front cost. You&rsquo;ll spend a few hundred dollars on a paint sprayer in most cases, while a roller and brushes will typically cost under $40. Sprayers also require more preparation to cover the areas you don&rsquo;t want to paint, and they require more technique to get your paint applied without drips or bubbles from applying too much paint at once. </p></div>
