How do you get paint to stay on plastic?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to get paint to stay on a plastic surface is by removing old, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-peeling-paint.htm">peeling paint </a>from your plastic surface and cleaning the plastic. Once you’ve cleaned the surface thoroughly, you can prime it with a plastic paint primer, wait for it to cure, and then apply high-quality paint that manufacturers have designed specifically for plastic surfaces.</p></div>

Q: How do you negotiate with house painters?

• <div><p>While your painters may have a certain price point in mind based on the materials and labor they estimate it will take to paint your house, it may be possible to negotiate with contractors, especially if you have multiple quotes to use as leverage. (A painter may be willing to offer some leeway to keep your business.) You might also be able to score a better deal by paying for your services upfront or bundling multiple services.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to hire a painter or do it yourself?

• <div><p>In all cases, it&rsquo;s more affordable to DIY paint than hire a professional painter, as you&rsquo;ll save on labor costs, which makes up the large majority of your total when you hire a pro. However, you get what you pay for. Professionals have the equipment and years of experience to tackle a job much more efficiently than most homeowners, and they typically provide better results. It&rsquo;s often worth the expense to save time and secure a more professional appearance for your paint job.</p></div>

Q: Which type of paint is the heaviest when dry?

• <div><p>The heaviest paint when dry is paint that has a thick pigment and additives like sand or some other aggregate. Oil-based paints can take the longest to dry because of their thicker pigments and higher densities, while water-based paints might be lighter when dry because the weight of the water reduces as it evaporates from the paint.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to paint the interior of a house?

• <div><p>The general rule when painting a home on your own is one day per room. It can take longer based on room size, drying times for a particular paint, and the number of coats used. If you hire a professional, the team of painters will usually work more quickly. With a professional doing the job, you&rsquo;re looking at one to three days for the entire home, depending on the number of coats you need and the size of the team. </p></div>
