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 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 paint is best for textured walls?

• <div><p>Latex paint is one of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-paint-explained.htm">best paint types</a> for textured walls. This water-based paint is fast-drying and has low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it safer and more convenient for painting walls that require several coats of paint. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re painting exterior walls, you can also consider using oil-based paint, but keep in mind that it takes much longer to dry and can slow your project down considerably.</p></div>

Q: Do cinder blocks need to be primed before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, cinder blocks must be primed before painting. Without primer, your paint won't stick to the surface of the blocks. You should use a bonding and filling primer which fills all of the small pores of your blocks. Once the primer dries, you'll have a smoother surface to work with and your paint will stick easily to the blocks.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best interior paint color to sell a house?

• <div><p>Using a neutral paint palette is the best way to help your house appeal to a wide range of buyers. Think beyond bright whites and overexposed grays, though&mdash;taupes, ivories, and off-whites can add visual interest without looking too stark.</p></div>
