You should prime it first. You can use a water based primer on it(Kilz It). Let dry and sand with 220 sandpaper. It might need another coat of primer so just repeat process and then paint with an enamel paint for durability.

How to paint plywood ?
You need to sand the wood and apply an undercoat so the wood does not bleed through.How to paint plywood ?
I'm assuming you mean regular wall paint, the best think you can do is layers of paint, the more layers the smoother the surface would be.... you could try sanding it down to decrease the roughness of the wood, but I'm pretty sure that would just degrade the wood and possibly cause it to fall apart. My recommendation is just layers of paint, make sure you wait for the previously layer to dry completely... good luck How to paint plywood ?
It needs to be sanded if there are any splinters, depending on what it is for. Then you need to prime it,one coat, with a good primer like Kilz or whatever you prefer. Then painted with indoor paint if its used indoors and outside paint if used outdoors. 2 coats of that.

How soon after painting a room is it safe to put plants in it?
It's just emulsion paint.How soon after painting a room is it safe to put plants in it?
Well I think that just like the above comment, of course, when it's dry. Also, if it smells really bad then I'd wait until the odor is gone too.How soon after painting a room is it safe to put plants in it?

I'd give it a day.

I painted a brick wall with one coat of paint and need to know how to remove it.?
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?
