I had my outdoor metal grating painted two weeks ago with alkyd paint and it is still tacky. It is very humid here in Costa Rica and it rained a few days. Does paint sometimes take a very long time to dry? Does it ever not dry, just stay tacky

I’m painting 1400 sq/ft of exterior and sure could use the names of some paint brands for super cold weather. The paint needs to adhere at temps between 30 and 40 degrees? Should I use chlorinated rubber?

I just sanded and primed my trim; 3 coats of primer then at least 2 coats of semi gloss white latex paint. The white is not white enough, so I want to put a new white over it. The paint has been on the trim about 1 week.

Do you have any suggestions on how to paint burglar bars while still attached to the home? Removing requires an EZ-Out and lots of labor, plus reattaching. I’m also doing the trim and main house body; vinyl siding, wood trim. 3 colors total with the burglar bars black, trim white,

I had my exterior stucco painted with elastomeric paint, apparently an acrylic blend, in December of 2005. Last summer I began to notice a few small thumbnail sized bare spots with primer exposed on the south sun-drenched wall. A few months later in October, I noticed more, and larger, areas

What minimum day & night temperatures should I have to apply & dry exterior paint? Is there a best temperature? (Stucco exterior walls in Northern California.)

I’m painting my exterior trim and it is peeling. Is there a way to take off the paint without burning it off? I’m looking for an easy way to get this done.

I’ve been painting professionally for four years but I still get confused with stain because I haven’t dealt with it much. The guy at the paint store insisted that I could stain over the existing and peeling alkyd paint without primer even? Sounds fishy to me! I need to do

I’m getting ready to prep and paint the exterior of my house and need to know how many coats of primer will be needed. Will one coat be enough or will I need more?
