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>

What sheen of paint should I use?

• <div><p>The best sheen depends on your needs. Satin and eggshell sheens are often recommended for siding since their lightly reflective finish can help hide imperfections while being relatively easy to clean. Semi-gloss sheen is a great fit for trim since it’s incredibly easy to clean and more durable and moisture-resistant than satin and eggshell, but if you use it for the entire surface, its more reflective properties can highlight imperfections. This is also why high-glass sheen isn’t a great fit for the entire surface.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint do you use with a spray gun?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-many-coats-paint-does-my-house-need.htm">number of paint coats you should apply</a> varies by project, but many jobs call for two coats of paint. Make sure you let the first coat fully dry according to the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions before applying that second coat. Luckily, paint from a sprayer dries rather quickly due to the nature of the fine mist created by the sprayer.</p></div>

Q: Is satin or flat paint better?

• <div><p>Satin paint is better for high-traffic spaces that need to hold up to a lot of cleaning. It&rsquo;s also best for spaces where walls are free of imperfections since the light reflecting off a glossy satin finish will highlight them even more. On the other end of the spectrum, think of flat paint for walls with dents or divots you want to conceal. Since flat paint isn&rsquo;t as strong as satin paint, it&rsquo;s not great for spaces that need a lot of cleaning. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint wall panels?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-wall-paneling.htm">paint most wall panels.</a> In fact, many wall panels come unfinished, meaning you can stain or paint them in any color you choose. Unfinished wall panels are usually less expensive than finished panels, although you should consider the time it will take you to finish them yourself when deciding if the monetary savings are worth it. You can save some money on the labor of finishing your panels if you go the DIY route, though.</p><p>If your wall panel already has a stain or paint color on it, you can often paint over it as well. You'll just want to make sure you properly treat the area before painting.</p></div>
