Make sure to power wash the stucco before painting. Another little tip if you are rolling it, is, to spritz the stucco with your garden hose before rolling on the paint. The water that you lightly spray on the wall will mix with the water in your latex paint, thinning it a little, and this will help it to get in all those nooks and crannies. Apply two coats for best results, but only spritz before the first coat.
Hope this helps.

Every time we remove wallpaper especially in older homes, we apply an oil primer before painting. We’ve never had any odor complaints. You might want to prime the wall with an oil primer and top coat with two coats of latex.

Whenever we remove wallpaper, if we can’t get the surface extremely clean, we coat the wall with an oil primer to seal it.
After it dries, we lightly skim the walls with a good lightweight joint compound to smooth the walls.
Once the compound is dry, we sand, reprime, and paint. Hope this helps!

You can paint over suede paint without priming, but because of the texture, you should sand it first. Depending on the previous topcoat, it may be tough to get the texture to completely go away. You can also skim areas where the texture is more pronounced.
Good Luck

As far as the wallpaper wall, you should remove the paper if possible before painting. If the paper is tight, it can be painted over by sealing with an oil primer first, skimming all of the seams with a spackeling compound, sand and paint.
As for the paneling, you would need to prime with an oil primer first, then paint. Oil is the key for a long lasting finish. Once it’s primed, it can be topcoated with latex paint.
As for the brick, in order to paint it, you would need to prime first with a masonary primer, before topcoating.
Good Luck!

You should wait for 3-6 months before sealing. Keep an eye on it and when it looks like water is starting to soak in instead of beading up on it, seal it. You should have a minimum 4 hour window without rain, more if possible. Check the label on your sealer. There are many good sealers, it just depends on where it is convenient for you to buy it.
Take care.

If the floor is already painted, it’s not always necessary to prime unless there are areas of peeling or cracking or maybe there is a foreign substance that can’t be removed. If priming, oil primer has to be used over an oil paint. You don’t want to use a latex primer over oil paint.
There are many high traffic floor paints, that may require a certain primer to be used directly with them. There are too many scenarios to mention here.
When buying your product, tell your paint pro what surface you are covering and what you’re trying to achieve. They will have all of the latest products and solutions.

If you have dull areas when using a satin finish, it sounds like the coverage isn’t as good as it should be.
When painting cathedral ceilings, even with an extension pole, the leverage isn’t as good, meaning that you may not be able to press as hard because of the height. Painting up and down in the same direction is the way to do it.
It sounds like the ceiling needs another coat.If you are putting a satin finish over a flat primer, the satin will soak in. Your second coat will give you the true sheen, taking away the dull spots.
The only other problem could be the thickness of your roller cover. 1/2″ is good for drywall.
Good Luck!

Most newer fiberglass doors require a gel stain. Once the surface is cleaned thoroughly, your ready to go. If the door is grained, I find it easiest to apply with a brush and wipe off with a rag.
Your local paint store should have the stain you need and any special tips that go with it.
Good Luck!

I am not familiar with those primers, but Sherwin Williams has Pro Block which can be spayed and works really well. If you’re going to topcoat later, you might want to look at some of the really good paints, they have built-in primers and can go directly on wood, and, can be sprayed if that’s what you’re going to do. Good Luck.

I am assuming that because of the age, that it is a steel or aluminum siding. If it is bubbling or peeling, it probably had an adhesion problem in those areas. With metal sidings, the best thing to do is remove all loose paint, by scraping or powerwashing or both preferably. Make sure to remove all of the chalky substance from the metal surface before priming. If the chalky substance is not removed, it could cause an adhesion problem in the future. Then spot prime bare areas with an acrylic latex exterior primer. Then top coat with a good acrylic latex exterior paint.
It’s may be a good idea to contact your local paint store and have a paint rep come out and take a look and advise on what you should do based on what they see.
Good Luck

Press the tape down as good as you can, I use a toothbrush to seal it down, and then put a small bead of caulking over the tape. Paint and remove tape.

With brick, I powerwash first, to get the surface clean, then a latex masonary primer should be applied before your topcoat. It’s best to use latex products outside because of weather and temperature change. Good Luck!

The big thing about vinyl is getting it clean before painting. The shutters should be cleaned with TSP or softscrub first, to remove any oxidation.
Make sure to use a good exterior paint, 2 coats of course. If you are able to spray them, the finish will be smoother. They can also be brushed and rolled. This will put it on thicker but will leave a slight textured look.
If you have cleaned them thoroughly first, you won’t need to use a primer before painting!
Good Luck!
