Can I paint with latex paint over rustoleum plastic spray paint?
Comments (1)Faron or paintguy may have better input, but here's my 2 cents. Before painting latex over oil, you need to use a primer that can coat oil paint and be top-coated with latex. I believe you'll want to stick to an oil primer for this. Once the stripe of primer has dried, you can cover it with your yellow latex. Personally, I think it'd be easier to stick with spraypaint and use delicate surface painters tape & masking paper to cover the areas you don't want yellow....See Moreusing patio paint or permenamel paints to paint tiles???
Comments (8)Thanks everyone, I found a paint online that is actually weather proof if you bake it. Just gotta find it again forgot to book mark it. I will attach a link when I find it. Shellybelly darn when I moved back from Pa I gave away about 50 things with sunflowers on them from dishes to crockery, would have mailed it to you. Calamity j aren't they the greatest this is my second one, my first lived 12 1/2 yrs and died in my arms. I'm so glad I was holding him, massive coronary. Was gone in a second. but anyway. Thanks. Pea I have about 400 8x8 grey tiles, left over from tiling my house in '88. believe that!!! I was going to send to dump, but hate to throw them away. When my son tiled his apt, he had 6 boxes of 16x16 white, so I am going to use them up. gin_gin, the first set I do I am putting in partial shade and planting artillery fern in the holes so it cascades out over the block, I don't like to see a 'wall effect' I want it softer so I don't think the sun will be affecting these. If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the link, there is a picture of a brown vase with gold, I was thinking that would be pretty if you break it up. Will keep you posted, Dena Here is a link that might be useful: design...See Moreinterior paint question. 1 tone paint color throughout home.
Comments (7)Absolutely. White toilet, and shower are the most popular right now. I have BM China White is a bathroom with all white. Dove White is very white while your other choices will have a hint of color and look nice with white molding and doors. If you do Dove White, what would be your trim? There are so many “whites” I just did BM Elmira White in my kitchen. I needed an update and wanted it to be pared with my granite and backsplash. Start understanding undertones and what expisure your rooms have. Natural light makes all the difference. Sometimes it doesn't matter as all the detiviatives look nice anyway. For example, we usedp BM Manchester Tan in quite a few spaces and it never disappoints. Shoji and Swiss Coffee have been popular for years, so you probably can't go wrong. Your bathrooms can certainly be other colors. Are you planning on only white tiles in all the bathrooms? We did our Florida home in a version of BM Simply White and my style is transitional. Bathrooms were painted other colors....See MoreTo paint or not to paint
Comments (2)I would leave them white, for now. Once you get all the walls done, you will know if they need to be painted or not. I think, they will be fine white, since you cant paint the window itself. Definitely not gray, though. Leaving white also makes the window look a bit bigger....See Morehoussaon
