Arts and Entertainment,Celebrity Gossip News - What type of paint ...

I recently had new interior doors and trim installed in my house. We patched and sanded the nails and painted with a glossy white paint. It came out streaked and you could see the patch underneath. What kind of paint should I use? Or what kind of brush should I use? is there a good washable, but durable paint? What about painting the fireplace mantel? What kind paint should I use on that? any suggestions are appreciate.

sticking to the doors for now, assuming they were well primed before you painted, you really shouldn't have had visible patches. normally, after sanding and patching, you should have covered everything with a good sealer primer, like perhaps Kilz II, using two coats over the patch areas. when dry, paint the door and trim with interior Latex enamel in a semi gloss finish. This will give you good hiding capabilities as well as being highly washable and durable, all good things for door and trim where hands are in contact.
The brush type doesn't mater all that much as long as it is nylon and not camel hair, which is only for oil based paints.

The mantel I don't know enough about to make an informed decision, other than again, prep is everything. Do al your patching, sanding and priming first. my old painting foreman used to say that a monkey could paint but only a good painter took the time to get the preperation work done properly. It's all in the details. Write back and let me know about the mantel, such as material, size, age, etc.

Chris has the first best clue. KILZ and Zinzer make an excellent oil based primer; that accepts latex, once dry.

After multiple thousands of gallons of paint; I prefer Satin; but that's just me. It has more polymers included in the recipie than flat; is less porous, and has a high level of "Cleanability" after the fact. I find Gloss and Semi gloss, no matter the "brand" to be difficult and unsatisfactory to work with, in a general sense; always needing more than a single coat.

I'm also a bit confused by the fact that you may not have countersunk any/all scres and/or nails; then spackled over; sanded; primed; then applied a finish coat.

I use PURDY or Zinzer brushes.

the Mantle could be the same color as the trim color; and assuming the HEAT from the fireplace has never been an issue before; you can use the same paint.

If this was "raw wood" and it's the first time it's been painted then you should use a primer first.

I've been painting homes for about 47 years now, always use a primer, it saves time and money.
use a "Kilz" primer on all the interior wood first, it's as easy as that.

Check over all the wood surfaces, make sure it all is smooth and then primer all the wood. let it dry. Get all your paint from Home Depot. I've bought my paint from them since I think they opened their doors.
Get a good grade of white water base primer but remember, there are 350 tones of "white" so, when you get the tone you want, have them put it in the computer so you'll have it in case you need more.

Get a good brush, a good "Purdy" about a four or six inch brush is good and, learn how to use it. Don't think about these tiny brushes. the big ones work great. Learn how to "cut" a line.

If you have kids, then use the enamel where ever they're going to walk or use the area, you'll never be sorry, the walls, the areas they're in, it'll be easy to clean.

Gloss paint will show the imperfections of a dry wall job, plus you should prime all repaired areas before painting. I use semi-gloss and a longer napped roller this will leave a slight textured look on the wall if you look close, kind of like a orange peel look. always use good brushes and good rollers, especially rollers, cheap rollers will shed.
On the mantel put a good prime coat on and paint with semi gloss as well?.apply with a good brush or trim it out then use one of the small foam rollers, checking frequently for runs and drips.

.go back to basics any raw wood should be primed with a oil based primer then u can use latex acrylic the fireplace mantel should also use an oil based primer before painting. you will have to sand your mistakes for the primer to stick. good luck chuck
