How do you match new paint and faded paint?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-match-paint-after-patching-wall.htm">Matching new paint</a> with an old, faded color can be tricky. First, you’ll need to determine whether the paint on your house is latex-based or oil-based. Lightly scrub an inconspicuous area of your home with rubbing alcohol—if the alcohol scrubs away the paint, it’s latex-based. If not, the paint is oil-based. </p><p>Once you have that settled, bring a paint chip or photo of the color to a paint professional and have them mix you a matching paint in the same base (latex or oil). Then paint another inconspicuous part of your house to see if it’s a match.</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: Are enamel paints waterproof?

• <div><p>Enamel paints that are oil- or lacquer-based are waterproof, making them great for outdoor surfaces. But water-based enamel paints are not waterproof, so double-check the paint can before painting your patio furniture.</p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over soot?

• <div><p>No, you cannot paint over soot. Soot is a type of contaminant and if not properly removed can cause further damage to your paint and walls. Adding paint directly over soot can result in your paint color changing in appearance and potentially peeling over time. </p></div>

Q: Do services include repainting?

• <div><p>Yes, many repair services include repainting to match the existing siding color.</p></div>

Trent, Mike, and Shane were amazing. They are very easy to work with - very polite, they were there when they said they would be, they asked questions regarding the paint job if they had them, and they made sure everything went smoothly. Great service. If I had another painting job, I would...
