Q: Is one coat of primer enough?

• <div><p>A single coat of primer is almost always sufficient. This is especially true if you&rsquo;re painting over a smooth surface with minimal to no flaws.</p></div>

Q: How long should you air out your house after painting?

• <div><p>After painting, air out the painted area for at least 48 to 72 hours by opening windows and using fans, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The process helps disperse volatile organic compounds (VOCs) the paint emits, reducing their concentration indoors. However, in some cases, especially with oil-based paints, airing out for extended periods may be necessary. Monitor air quality and continue ventilation until paint fumes dissipate significantly.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if a mist coat has worked?

• <div><p>You can test to see if your mist coat has worked by using masking tape after the drying period. Apply masking tape to an inconspicuous area of the wall after the mist coat has had at least 24 hours to dry. Then, peel off the tape. It should come up clear, with no paint residue. If it does have paint residue, you may need to remove the mist coat and try coating the plaster again with a different ratio of paint and water.</p></div>

Q: What is the best type of paint finish to use?

• <div><p>Paint comes in a variety of finishes. In most cases, a satin or semi-gloss sheen is a safe bet because it&rsquo;s easy to wipe down and clean, while hiding scuffs and scratches. However, if you&rsquo;re looking for a statement piece, consider using a high-gloss sheen to bring drama and light into the space. Keep in mind, while visually striking, higher sheens are more likely to show imperfections.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t pressure wash before painting?

• <div><p>If the exterior walls are not thoroughly cleaned before a paint job, the paint could stick to the grime, creating obvious imperfections along the way. Beyond that, painting over a freshly-cleaned wall just about doubles the lifespan of the paint, from three or four years to seven to ten years. </p></div>

I highly recommend the Johnston team. They painted our exterior stucco home timely and efficiently, and we are highly satisfied. The management team were pleasant to communicate with, and were very understanding and flexible with some last minute requests.
