more than likely will have to sandblast it of because the bricks are coarse--you will not have any luck with strippersI painted a brick wall with one coat of paint and need to know how to remove it.?
Well, you kinda made a mess, but if you really want to get the paint off, you need to blast it off. You can have it professionally done, or get the supplies you need at some hardware or paint stores. Glass bead or walnut shell will remove the paint while not destroying the brick. If you use paint remover, you will soften the paint and actually make it go deeper into the pores of the mortar and brick. Other than that, there is only one answer as the other person stated, re-paint it.I painted a brick wall with one coat of paint and need to know how to remove it.?
Try a hire place like HSS where you can hire a needle gun which removes paint from brickwork. There's also another power tool but I can find their catalogue at the moment. Sand blasting would work but that would create a lot more mess.
Try HSS though.
You did not specify if the wall was inside or outside. If it is inside you got a big mess to deal with. If outside, I would start by renting a heavy duty pressure washer. I had to removed paint from bricks and concrete when I had the trim work on my house painted. Of course, I didn't have as much paint to remove as you do. But, it is worth a try. Also, if just pressure washing does not do the trick you could probably spray on a paint stripper and give it time to process. Apply it with a pump-up hand sprayer,then pressure wash it.
If the bricks are not ';facing'; bricks, that is, where the visible surface is a thin coating on what is otherwise a ';common'; then sandblasting is the only way to remove the paint, leaving a clean attractive brick surface showing. If the bricks ARE ';facing'; bricks, sandblasting, while removing the paint, will also remove the facing and leave the ';common'; brick surface showing, probably not attractive.
paint remover
paint stripper should do the job
The only thing I know to do is to get a heat gun and a scraper .
i dont think ya can maybe only sandblast
Check out the ';Illustrated Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings'; under 'masonry' There are explicit steps for removing paint from brick.
Take a seven pound hammer and a good swing, a few well placed blows and you will be left with a pile of bricks. If you wish to remove the paint and keep the wall, try either a good paint remover or several buckets of sand and cement render. Good luck whichever way you go, don't forget to sheet the furnature down as wives get uptight when a layer of dust and rubble coats up your bits and pieces....
i don't now how but i say get paint remover or chisel's it off or erm paint ova it ! ? or wall paper ?
Just keep on painting over it that鈥檚 it, use Paint remover if its spray use graffiti remover
build another wall after you pull the first one down...wont need painting for a few years then....
Most likely you did not do any prep work to the wall prior to painting.
A pressure washer will take it off .
Admin offers the best, viable solution. Other methods may work in a limited way, but the texture and the porous nature of brick will still show paint residue.

How to paint in acrylic?
I fling mine around. Straight out of the tube for heavy texture. I dilute with water and spray from a sort of pastry bag for colour.
Just start playing around. Acrylic is a very forgiving medium; you can just keep adding paint until you're satisfied. You will find your style eventually. See if you can find a local artist to show you how they work. Etc.How to paint in acrylic?
You can get this stuff from Hobby Lobby that makes it last longer and makes it build better and makes it shiny and easier to spread. I can't remember what it's called! It's in a white container and it looks like a jar of peanut butter. It's very expensive, tho! You can use water, in the meantime. I hated acrylic because it dried too fast.How to paint in acrylic?
Quickly, with a brush always dipped in water first.

How to fix the dishwasher rack? THe paint is cracked and the frame is rusting?
Check the web site for the company and see if you can order new racks.How to fix the dishwasher rack? THe paint is cracked and the frame is rusting?
They make coating for the racks and it can be found at an appliance parts store. You could also buy it on line but I am afraid that the S%26amp;H would cost more than the coating.How to fix the dishwasher rack? THe paint is cracked and the frame is rusting?
I wander if that rubber paint would work on it. Sorry, I can not think of the name of it. But, you dip your tools in it and it creates a rubber grip on the handles (it has different colors). I just do not know if it would survive a dish washer but, it might be a solution.
There is a bunch of them on shEbay. They are cheap also. Party, bonus.
They sell special paint just for that purpose, one that will take the wear of the harsh detergent. Check with stores that sell large appliances like Sears, HD, or Lowes
Depending on the brand you could possibly order a replacement rack. I know that a replacement will cost you quite a bit though, depending on how much you want to spend. Or if you a do it yourselfer then I would recommend a good spray paint, like a kilz product or something simular to it. Once the primer dries then you are ready for the next step of painting it. Make sure you use paint that is for metal and plastic. You will need to make sure you have good coverage.
Dishwashers are fairly economical now days. It would be easier and probably cost wise, cheaper to replace it.
buy a new one their cheap or r u?

My paint,on my computer has messed up how to fix?
i need it for facebook.also it says there is not enough memory or resources to complete operation.My paint,on my computer has messed up how to fix?
A link and some suggestions for a better working computer:
A) Check here for a possible solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/129545
B) Sometimes the computer just needs a bit of internal cleaning, check these 3 suggestions that should get you a faster system (repeat every two month or so).
1) As you browse the web, browsers stores information about the websites you visit and more. Usually, it's helpful to have this information stored on your computer because it can improve web browsing speed. You have to delete that information once in a while as your cache fills up.
In the following paragraphs, I'll tell you about two methods for two of the most in use browsers (IE7 and Firefox 3):
Method One (now):
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu and then choose click Delete Browsing History from the list.
In the box that opens, click the Delete all button (bottom left) and then click Yes.
In Firefox, go to tools, clear private data, make sure all boxes are checked and then click on the clear private data now button.
Method Two (in the future):
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu and then choose click Delete Browsing History from the list.
In the box that opens, do the following steps (in order)
1) click the button near Temporary Internet Files, click Yes and wait for the box that opens to close.
2) click the button near History, click Yes and wait for the box that opens to close.
Finally, click the close button (bottom right) to finish.
In Firefox, Go to tools, clear private data and uncheck all except Browsing History, Cache and Authenticated Sessions boxes and then click on the clear private data now button.
For older versions of both or other browsers (Opera, Netscape, Chrome, ETC), check their respective help files for the equivalent.
Notes: You should close your browser ( This is good for Internet Explorer and Firefox ) when you're done to clear cookies that are still in memory from your current browsing session.
And don't worry, deleting all browsing history does not delete your list of favorites, subscribed feeds or documents that you saved on your computer. It only deletes temporary files, browsing history, cookies, saved form information, and saved passwords inside the browser.
2) A good cleanup of the hard disk is never done in vain. Use this freeware program to do a complete job of it:
http://www.glaryutilities.com/gu.html
Description: Glary Utilities is a collection of system tools and utilities to allow you to clean system junk files, invalid registry entries and Internet traces. You can also manage and delete browser add-ons, analyze disk space usage and find duplicate files.
3) The Java Runtime Environment can cause slowdowns if you made updates, you should use a free program I use myself called JavaRa to get the latest version of the JRE and remove the older versions. Find more information here: http://raproducts.org/javara.html and the download link on this page: http://raproducts.org/
( A word of caution, with programs this powerful, be sure to read all help files and instructions twice so that you can fix it once ! )
Hope this helps

P.S.: It is a good practice, after you have done the above, to do a FULL scan with antivirus and antispyware.

Is there a way to paint over Vynle Drywall. If so, how ?
I think you mean ';vinyl covered drywall';. This type of drywall was generally used in Kitchens and Bathrooms. Sure, you can paint it, but don't expect it to be a ';permanent'; type of repair. Vinyl is a plastic, and plastic does not absorb anything. Paint (for proper adhesion) needs to be somewhat absorbed into the material that it's being applied on. As a construction specification writer, when I encountered this, I generally would ';spec'; an overlay using 1/4'; drywall (this can be hard to find, but it is available) or 3/8'; drywall (usually easy to find). You simply secure the new drywall on top of the old by gluing/screwing, then tape/spackle and finish the new drywall. If in a Kitchen or Bath, use a good quality low-lustre satin paint (I've had good luck with Sears ';Easy Living'; paint) and paint your new walls. For doors and windows that you encounter, remove the trim, extend the door/window jambs with wood to allow for the new overlay thickness, then either reinstall the existing trim or install new - your choice. Hopefully this all makes sense to you, if you have additional questions, drop me a line at keyboard.king@yahoo.com and I'll try to help.Is there a way to paint over Vynle Drywall. If so, how ?
You would need to use an epoxy paint.
Very good at adhering to anything, but very toxic smell..so open the windows

I want to start painting. How do I start?
I want something to relieve stress. Painting is what I chose, but where do I start and how? Is it expensive?I want to start painting. How do I start?
well a good way of putting emotion across in painting is by painting abstract art created by different marks on the canvas
take a look at this for an idea of what i mean
http://www.lovefibre.com/wp-content/uplo鈥?/a>
put all your anger or hate or whatever your feeling into the brush and move it round and think about things and you will find that you end up with some really different brush techniques
this is looked upon as serious artwork these days too
i would advice using acrylic paint as this will be the cheapest way. i would buy about 5 tubes of it to begin with, a red a yellow a blue a white and a black but when you realise what colours you use more you can buy different ones
you could also use the colours to reflect your mood so use dark greens and blues and greys etc... not like bright yellow and pink
you dont necessarily need brushes to paint with, i have painted with all sorts of different materials like pieces of cardboard, sponge, cloth and my hands and fingers. You just have to experiment to see what you enjoy the most
just have fun and experiment with different effects and you will love it!I want to start painting. How do I start?
Go to the arts and crafts store and buy whatever sparks your interest.
I took a beginner's painting course at college. We used tempera paint, it's like watercolor, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempera
and the pointillism style
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointillism
The first thing that you must have in order to start painting is desire, and apparently you have that. But you must have more then desire, you must have the willingness to learn and improve from painting to painting.
I would encourage you to be creative and do not copy anyone else's work, but paint only your own creations. I too, believe that you must also be accomplished at drawing in order to be a successful painter. There are of course exceptions to this rule as in the case of abstract art, where drawing is not so important, but composition and the use of color is the emphasis.
Yes, art supplies are rather expensive and should be treated with respect in order to conserve your materials. Brushes should be cleaned thoroughly and the caps should be put on bottles and tubes in order that they do not dry out.
Art can be a stress reliever and a way to vent your ideas and sometimes emotions from your mind to the canvas. This is the case with many artists of today and yesteryear without a doubt. So I definitely encourage you to pursue the field of art to vent your frustrations whatever they might be.
I would also encourage you to first pursue the drawing area a little closer before you start painting. There are some sites online where you can study drawing. Pencil and paper are not that expensive and drawing is not just something that is done by children. It is an art in itself. Any media, even crayola can turn into beautiful works of art.
By all means continue with your plans. What I have said above is only a suggestion. Pursue art if you will and enjoy and May God Bless you and yours.....Nomadic
A small acrylic paint set would be great. Around 20 dollars and you can get paper in a tablet to paint on. Just go for it and let your creativity take you where you will go.
I had the same question myself 6 months ago. What worked great for me was in enrolling in a painting class at my local Art Institute. If you don't have one close to you, then I would check the local colleges and community ed programs in your area. I found the class to be very helpful. The teacher gave me all the basics a beginning painter should get. She taught me about the different paints and what the labels meant on each. What different surfaces you can paint on to get different effects canvas of course being the most popular (Side Note: I found this great site that makes custom canvases for artists, http://www.canvascubed.com. Very unique and very affordable). This was definitely the help I needed to really get my painting hobby off the ground.
As for the expense of painting: After you get your basics items covered, paints and brushes, it's a cheap hobby to keep up with.
