What kind of paint do you use on fiberglass?

• <div><p>Fiberglass bathtubs require paint that can withstand repeated exposure to water and humidity. Additionally, they require a high-strength epoxy coating to protect the paint from water. A few brands make appropriate paints, some in spray cans.</p><p>However, kits are the best choice because they come with everything you need (with instructions) to ensure a durable finish. These kits may require mixing the paint with a hardener that gives it the strength to withstand repeated water exposure. </p></div>

What should you not do when painting walls?

• <div><p>First and foremost, don’t skip the prep work. Even if you have the steady hands of a surgeon, mistakes happen, and they can potentially be catastrophic. Also, never underestimate how much paint you’ll need. Returning to the store is enough of a pain, let alone the streaks and uneven color you’ll get if a half-done wall dries before you can finish it. </p></div>

Q: Is it okay to paint over existing exterior paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over old exterior paint as long as you properly prepare the surface. You may need to sand your siding before painting over it, especially if you have wood siding. In some cases, if your siding is in good shape, a simple exterior primer is enough to prepare the surface for a new coat of paint. Touching up your home&rsquo;s exterior can not only increase your curb appeal; it can also help your home&rsquo;s siding be more durable and long-lasting.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of limewash paint?

• <div><p>When you compare <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/limewash-vs-paint.htm">limewash versus paint</a>, the drawbacks of limewash include its relatively limited durability compared to synthetic paints, often requiring reapplication in high-traffic areas or harsh weather conditions. Moreover, applying limewash requires skill and patience to avoid issues like streaks or uneven coverage. Limewash also comes with some color variety using natural pigments, but you have fewer options than if you go with paint.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to prep and paint a room?

• <div><p>The time it takes to prep and paint a room depends wholly on the project's details. You can expect to spend at least two days on the job, including one for prepping and priming and one for applying two coats of paint. If the room is complex with many features to work around, expect to spend an additional day. </p></div>
