Paint Tips of the Month for December


INTERIOR: If you have to touch up an painted room at a later date, if there is any question that it might not touch up easy, then it is best to plan to do the work at the same temperature as when you painted the original room. If you have bright colors, it will not flash as much where you touched it up.


EXTERIOR: If you are going to touch up stucco outside, best to touch it up with a roller. If you use a brush and too much paint, it will fill in the crevices much more than the original paint, and the spot will stick out like a sore thumb. This also applies to trying paint samples on a house. Brush it out  your samples on a sample board or piece of wood, because when you pick your colors and paint the whole house, you will still be able to see the areas you painted with a brush (it will have filled in the surface more.)
