What paint lasts the longest on wood?

• <div><p>Acrylic paint is the best choice for painting wood if you want a finish that will last for years to come. To ensure a flawless and long-lasting finish, remember these <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-to-using-acrylic-paint-on-wood.htm">tips for using acrylic paint on wood</a>: Clean, sand, and prime before adding your color. Also, if you’re using acrylics on outdoor furniture, be sure to choose paint that is specifically made for outdoor use.</p></div>

Q: What humidity is too high to paint in?

• <div><p>In most cases, humidity above 70% is considered too high to paint in. Humid conditions will slow the paint&rsquo;s drying process, which increases the risk of drips and other imperfections. Moisture on the walls is also one of the biggest reasons for bubbles in your paint and poor adhesion, so you&rsquo;ll get an overall better finish if you maintain humidity under 70%.</p></div>

Q: Is primer necessary before painting?

• <div><p>In most cases, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">paint primer</a> is necessary before painting over wood paneling. A hardy primer formula covers up stains and leaves a grippy surface for the new paint to hold onto. If you don&rsquo;t use a primer first, you risk poor adhesion, visible blemishes, and a paint top coat that could flake away later. </p><p>There are two primer choices: oil-based or latex-based. Choose an oil-based primer for durability and adhesion, but prepare for extra dry time and more VOC (volatile organic compounds) fumes. Or, pick a stain-blocking latex primer. They&rsquo;re easy to apply, clean up, and affordable.</p></div>

Q: Should I use a paint sprayer like the pros?

• <div><p>When you hire a professional painter, this expert may use a paint sprayer to repaint a room instead of a roller and brushes. Using a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spraying-vs-rolling-paint.htm">paint sprayer versus a roller</a> for a DIY job can be tough for a beginner. The cost of renting or buying a sprayer will be higher than buying rollers and brushes. It can be tough to ensure even coverage with a sprayer when you&rsquo;re a beginner. Avoiding splatters and overspray in other areas of the room can be difficult, too. Sprayers will save a lot of time, though. </p></div>

Q: Is it a good idea to paint your foundation?

• <div><p>Not only is it a good idea, but experts actually strongly recommend painting your foundation. Modern sealants and waterproof paints often protect your concrete foundation for close to 10 years. Plus, paint protects concrete from UV damage. The right type of sealant combined with an attractive paint color will not only enhance your curb appeal but also protect the concrete that&rsquo;s so important to your home.</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.
