Is waterproof paint effective?

• <div><p>Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-questions-ask-basement-waterproofing-contractor.htm">hire a basement waterproofing contractor</a>, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating. </p></div>

Why does caulk crack when painting?

• <div><p>Some caulk shrinks during the drying process, leading to cracked paint and a less-than-ideal appearance. Not all caulk cracks when painting, but it’s important that you read the label on your caulk container before painting to ensure that it’s actually paintable. There are four main types of caulk, and acrylic latex caulk is one of the most reliable caulking materials for painting over without fear of cracked paint. Avoid painting over silicone caulking.</p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over your front door?

• <div><p>If you're hoping to save time by simply painting over your front door, we have bad news. This usually won&rsquo;t give you the results that you want. You need to fully prep your door so that the paint adheres to the surface. If you don't sand and clean your door, you may find that you need to repaint your door sooner than you would if you had prepared the door properly in the first place.</p></div>

Q: Should white walls and trim be the same color?

• <div><p>They don&rsquo;t have to be, but painting trim white when you have white walls can have many benefits. Often, the pairing makes rooms look larger and adds a ton of visual drama. It can also provide more of a blank slate to allow any of your wall decor to really stand out. However, there&rsquo;s no &ldquo;right&rdquo; color choice for trim on white walls.</p></div>

Q: How much paint is needed for a 12x12 room?

• <div><p>One gallon of paint covers about 400 square feet. Assuming that you have four equal walls that are 8 feet high, a 12x12 room will need one gallon of paint per coat. The number of coats you need will depend on the condition of the wall and whether you&rsquo;re painting over an existing color or starting fresh. </p></div>
