Q: How much paint thinner should you use?

• <div><p>You should use either a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of paint to paint thinner in most cases. The amount of paint should always be higher than the amount of paint thinner. </p></div>

Q: What is the most restful paint color for a bedroom?

• <div><p>Shades of blue, green, lavender, and brown can all evoke a sense of calm when used as bedroom paint colors. Blues and greens are traditionally associated with rest and relaxation, but soothing lavenders and rich browns can also be visually soothing to allow you a good night&rsquo;s sleep. </p></div>

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

• <div><p>The length of time it takes to paint a house will depend on whether you&rsquo;re doing it yourself or hiring a pro, and the time of year in which you&rsquo;re planning to do it. A professional paint company can likely complete the job within three to four days, but they may need more time to account for bad weather. By contrast, it may take a week or more when opting to DIY. </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>
