How do you prepare a wall for black paint?

• <div><p>First, make sure that you tape off all the areas that you don’t want to paint black. It’s harder to paint a light color over black than to touch up any lighter spots you missed. Once you’ve taped it off, make sure that the surface is clean and smooth, and then prime the wall with a tinted primer in gray. This step will help to transition from a lighter color to a darker one.</p></div>

Is it OK to paint over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/painting-over-wallpaper-its-possible.htm">paint over wallpaper</a> if it’s smooth and in good shape. But if there are bumps or tears in the wallpaper, they’ll likely show through the paint. Similarly, you should avoid painting over textured wallpaper because the ridges and patterns in the paper will be visible. In either of these situations, you should remove the wallpaper before painting.</p></div>

Q: What paint is best for an old deck?

• <div><p>The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. </p></div>

Q: How long do you let caulk dry before painting?

• <div><p>You should wait for caulk to cure before painting it. Silicone and acrylic latex caulk can take anywhere from one to 10 days to fully cure, and polyurethane may take 10 to 12 days to cure. Always follow the instructions on the label when it comes to painting over caulk because different types require different drying and curing times. </p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint should a wall have?

• <div><p>Typically, professionals recommend two coats of paint for even coverage. However, you may be able to get away with one coat if you&rsquo;re painting over a light color with a darker or similar-shade color. But if you&rsquo;re going from a darker to a lighter color, like white to black, you may need up to three coats. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re going from a darker to a lighter color, like white to black, you may need up to three coats. Buying high-quality paint and using primer on the walls beforehand can save you the extra labor and cost that comes with adding more coats of paint. </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.
