How long does paint last?

• <div><p>Most exterior paints last between <b>five and 10</b> <b>years</b>. Your region’s climate and the quality of the primer and paint influence the total longevity. Additionally, the surface you paint over impacts your lifespan, as wood needs more frequent recoats than brick. </p><p>Most interior paint jobs can last anywhere between <b>three to 10 years</b>, depending on your lifestyle. If you have small children or pets that make the walls messy, you might need to repaint on the earlier side. However, if you have a quiet home, you can get several years out of your current paint job. </p></div>

Q: Should you paint your old wood fence?

• <div><p>You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you&rsquo;ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.</p></div>

Q: How do you open a paint can with a twist lid?

• <div><p>Newer paint cans often come with an &ldquo;easy pour&rdquo; spout with a twist lid. These can be tricky to open, but the key is to grip the spout cover with your fingers and twist it counter-clockwise. There should be a raised ridge in the middle to make it easy to grab. For more standard twist lids, you can try prying the lid off by turning it with your hands, as you would a jar, or running it under warm water.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint inside when it rains?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-paint-in-the-rain.htm">paint inside when it rains</a>, but you should keep the windows closed and have a dehumidifier in the room to maintain proper humidity under 70%. Note that keeping the windows closed means you won&rsquo;t have ventilation, so double-check that you&rsquo;re using a no-VOC paint for safety. Even then, it&rsquo;s a better idea to wait until the rain has passed before you start painting.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t wax chalk paint?

• <div><p>Not waxing chalk-painted furnishings leaves their surfaces susceptible to moisture damage and color fading over time.</p></div>
