Q: Does limewash paint need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Limewash paint does not require sealing in the traditional sense. Unlike other paints, limewash forms a breathable, matte finish that evaporates moisture from the surface. However, a sealer or topcoat adds protection or durability. It can help enhance the paint's dirt, moisture, and abrasion resistance. Sealing limewash may alter its appearance, potentially affecting its natural matte finish. Therefore, whether to seal limewash depends on the project's specific requirements and desired aesthetic outcome.</p></div>

Q: Should you paint your old wood fence?

• <div><p>You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you&rsquo;ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime a fiberglass door before painting?

• <div><p>Because of its chemical composition, you don&rsquo;t need to prime fiberglass before painting. Paint will adhere without issues and have a smooth, even appearance without needing a primer coat. However, a top coat may be necessary to limit damages from weather and ensure you don&rsquo;t need to repaint your door so soon. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint over already painted furniture?

• <div><p>Depending on the piece, there are times when you can paint over painted furniture. Start by applying a high-adhesion primer so that the new topcoat will stick. However, if the paint is peeling or chipping, it&rsquo;s best to sand it down, use a paint stripper, or try a deglosser to ensure your new paint will adhere.</p></div>

Q: How do I match paint on textured or older walls?

• <div><p>Textured or older walls with years of wear can make matching trickier. Paint on these surfaces may catch the light differently or have faded unevenly. Try to match in a smoother, less worn spot (such as behind a door or piece of art). You may also want to paint a small test swatch and let it dry completely before deciding, as it may look significantly different once it has cured.</p></div>
