How long does it take to paint a stairway or foyer?

• <div><p>It will usually take a professional painter between three and four hours to paint a stairway; if you’re DIY-ing, plan to spend between four and six hours, depending on the difficulty of your project and the size of your hallway or foyer.</p></div>

Is waterproof paint effective?

• <div><p>Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-questions-ask-basement-waterproofing-contractor.htm">hire a basement waterproofing contractor</a>, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating. </p></div>

Q: What type of finish should I use?

• <div><p>A finishing layer is an important step in the staining process. A top coat helps make a stain last longer by protecting it from spills, scratches, and natural weathering.</p><p>A lacquer finish is thin, fast-drying, and best used for cabinets, molding, and trim. It&rsquo;s not recommended for outdoor furniture. Another option is varnish, which has a glossy finish with a protective film and is often used on outdoor wood objects. Polyurethane, known as &ldquo;liquid plastic,&rdquo; dries quickly but doesn&rsquo;t hold up well in the heat. Lastly, a shellac finish adds a warm tint to wood but is affected by heat.</p></div>

Q: Can you prime and paint on the same day?

• <div><p>Yes, with some primers, you can prime and paint on the same day. It depends on how long your primer takes to fully dry. Some can dry within an hour while others may take a fully 24 hours.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use on a wrought iron fence?

• <div><p>Acrylic latex paint is the best option to use on your outdoor wrought iron fence, because it holds up well against the elements. Use a high-quality, exterior-grade paint specifically designed for use on metal. You can choose between spray paint or regular liquid paint. As for primer, it's best to use an oil-based and rust inhibiting option before painting your wrought iron fence.</p></div>
