Can I use ceiling paint on walls?

• <div><p>While we can’t stop you, we don’t recommend using ceiling paint on walls. Ceiling paint is designed to be flat and less durable, which means it won’t stand up well to scrubbing or regular contact. It’s often limited in color selection. If you’re painting a low-traffic area, such as a closet, ceiling paint might work in an absolute pinch. But for most walls, it’s worth using a more durable, wall-specific formula. </p></div>

Q: Can I use ceiling paint on walls?

Q: Can you paint a yellow lawn green?

• <div><p>Technically, yes, there are lawn &ldquo;paints&rdquo; that you can use to dye your lawn to a greener color, often made out of nontoxic biodegradable materials. This is a potential band-aid to your problem, but it rarely has perfect results. First, yellowed grass is usually frail and lacks the springiness of healthy grass, so your lawn may still look unhealthy no matter the color. Second, lawn paints only work for the short term, and wash away after a couple of months (depending on your climate).</p></div>

Q: What’s the best way to paint metal?

• <div><p>Brushes, rollers, and spray paint are the best ways to paint metal surfaces, depending on your project goals. Spray paint is the easiest method for painting metal and can make painting complicated pieces with many curves and grooves a breeze. However, using traditional paint with a roller or brush creates a harder, more durable finish.</p></div>

Q: How many gallons of paint do I need?

• <div><p>One gallon of paint can usually cover up to 400 square feet. Therefore, painting a one- or two-car garage door typically requires one gallon of paint, which should give you enough for the two to three coats experts recommend for this job. However, if you're painting a lighter color over a darker color, you might need more. Using primer can decrease the total number of coats of paint you need.</p></div>

Q: What causes paint to peel?

• <div><p>The most common reason paint peels is because moisture gets trapped underneath it and disrupts its bond with the wall. Other causes for peeling paint include a poor original paint job, painting over a surface with dirt or other foreign material on it, or applying paint coats that are too thick.</p></div>

Katy and Bryan did an amazing job painting our town house. Their pricing was very competitive and they where able to meet my time frame. Also, Bryan was able to fix a leak under my kitchen sink!!! I would highly recommend them!

Very pleased. Carpentry was excellent. Painting was sub'ed out, to one of their regulars. Please with the look of the paint job, and no problem coming back to touch up a small punch list. Pleased with gutters. Minor deviation from "as specified" were fixed on a return visit. This is a small,...

They sent a guy to look at the job. He spent a lot of time looking but then we waited 4 days to hear an estimate. I was told the job would mean 12 days of work at a $90 /hr. plus materials. I guess they were going to charge me to watch paint dry because another pro was doing all of the work...

He repaired my vinyl siding. The paint was peeling off of it. He cleaned it all up. It was a three stage process. He did a lot of work. He did a pretty decent job. He was quick. He had the job done fast. He did a good job.

My wife ran into a parked truck and side swiped the entire right side. It took a full month to complete the job, but the final bodywork and paint was well worth the wait. I was referred to S2H as the painter/owner Scott Glover is a renown painter with a good reputation. The shop was clean...
