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>

Q: What do most painters charge hourly?

• <div><p>Most painters charge by the square footage of the project rather than an hourly rate. However, painters who do charge by the hour typically charge $20 to $60 per hour for a standard job. More complex or physically demanding jobs may be able to go for $100 per hour in labor costs. </p></div>

Q: Is there a difference between ceiling paint and wall paint?

• <div><p>While you can use wall paint on the ceiling, there are some differences between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ceiling-vs-wall-paint.htm">ceiling and wall paint</a>. Ceiling paint tends to be thicker, cover discoloration better, and comes in a more limited color selection. Wall paint is thinner, holds up to regular cleaning better, and is available in an almost endless variety of colors. </p></div>

Q: Does painting a bathroom increase home value?

• <div><p>Painting a bathroom can help <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/it-worth-remodeling-your-kitchen-or-bathroom.htm">increase the value of your home</a> by hundreds or even thousands of dollars, in some cases. A well-painted bathroom makes the space look cleaner and fresher, giving potential buyers the impression that the home is well-maintained, which can boost overall appeal. Plus, switching to mildew-resistant paint can protect your bathroom and contribute to its appeal.</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>
