19A: Yes, it is recommended to wear protective gear, such as gloves and a mask, when spray painting to protect your skin and respiratory system from the fumes.
20A: No, it is not recommended to mix different colurs of spray paint as this can result in an undesirable color and affect the quality of the finish. If you need to mix colours, it’s best to use a paint mixer and a brush.
Wall Paint
1A: For the best results, it is recommended to use a high-quality synthetic brush. Avoid using natural bristle brushes as they can leave marks on the wall.
2A: Clean the wall surface thoroughly, removing any dirt, dust or cobwebs. Fill any cracks or holes with a filler and sand smooth. If the wall is new, leave it to dry for at least 24 hours before painting.
3A: It depends on the surface and the paint. Two coats of paint are usually sufficient, but you may need to apply a third coat if the first two coats are very thin.
4A: Yes, you can paint over existing paint, but it is important to ensure that the existing paint is clean, dry and free of any loose or flaking paint. You may need to prime the surface if it is highly porous or if the existing paint is very glossy.
5A: The drying time for wall paint can vary depending on the type of paint, the temperature, and the humidity. It is usually between 2-4 hours.
6A: It usually takes about 7-14 days for the paint to fully cure, but this can vary depending on the type of paint and the conditions.
7A: The finish you choose will depend on the look you want and the type of room you are painting. A satin or eggshell finish is a popular choice for most rooms, while a high-gloss finish is ideal for high-traffic areas or surfaces that need to be easily cleaned.
8A: The amount of paint you need will depend on the size of the room, the number of coats you need to apply, and the type of paint you are using. As a general rule, 3.7 liters of paint covers about 35 – 40 m2 with one coat.
9A: Yes, you can use wall paint on the ceiling. Just make sure to choose a paint that is suitable for ceilings, such as a flat or matte finish paint.

12A: No, you should not paint over mold and mildew. You must remove the mold and mildew first, and treat the area with a mold-resistant primer before painting.
13A: To touch up wall paint, you should use the same paint that was used on the wall, and apply the paint in thin, light coats. It is best to do touch-ups when the wall is dry and clean.
14A: You should wait at least 14 days after painting to wash the wall. This will give the paint time to fully cure and become resistant to damage from water or cleaning products.
15A: No, you should not paint a damp wall. Damp walls can cause the paint to bubble, blister or peel, and will not adhere properly. You should allow the wall to dry completely before painting.
16A: Yes, you can paint over a wall with a strong odor, but you should prime the wall first with a primer specifically designed to neutralize odors. This will help to prevent the odor from penetrating the paint and re-emerging later.
17A: Store leftover paint in a cool, dry place, and make sure the lid is tightly sealed. Label the can with the date, the type of paint and the color. Paint can last for several years if stored correctly.

It is also important to consider the humidity levels when painting, as high humidity can affect the drying time of the paint.
20A: Yes, you can paint a wall that has just been plastered, but it is important to allow the plaster to dry completely before painting. This can take several days, depending on the temperature and humidity levels. You may also need to prime the wall with a sealer or primer before painting, to ensure that the paint adheres well to the porous surface of the plaster.
