Q: How many coats of paint are needed?

• <div><p>You'll need at least two coats of paint when painting your stair railings, despite some manufacturers' claims of single-coat coverage. This is necessary mostly because there are often many corners and details that make it difficult to cover all surfaces evenly with a single coat. Adding a second coat evens out the finish and provides added durability. </p></div>

Q: What is the best paint finish for painted shutters?

• <div><p>While flat and satin finishes are ideal for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choose-right-finish-your-front-door.htm">garage or front doors</a>, siding, and trim, gloss and semi-gloss are more common on shutters. That&rsquo;s because these types of finishes highlight this proportionally smaller exterior home feature, adding both contrast and layers of texture to the overall facade. Other types of finishes aren&rsquo;t off limits, but you&rsquo;ll have more success by choosing one that provides a nice sheen. </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>

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: How many coats of paint do professional painters use?

• <div><p>Professional painters usually use at least two coats of paint when adding a new color. Depending on the surface they&rsquo;re painting, painters may apply a primer coat before two coats of paint. Ceilings, trim, and baseboards typically get one coat of paint applying a fresh coat of the same color.</p></div>
