Where can one buy sage green paint?
I have been in the business for a long time and have used many different kinds of grass paints on the market. One thing you want to watch out for, is it turning blue on you and not holding up. Best product on the market, hands down is the Natural Green Grass Patch. From what I hear they just supplied some major universities and the NFL with their green lawn paint. Call them, if needed, they are full of answers. Best of luck!
What type of paint should you use on a wooden shed?
If it's decent wood then why not stain it in a red reddish brown (if it suits your home and yard.) If not, then oil is the best. Latex is water-based so won't stand up as well. I work in a paint store, and I can assure that a quality acrylic latex will far outlast an oil based exterior paint. Oil based paints will fade and chalk outside in a matter of months. On wood they are also likely to crack due to inflexibility. Acrylic latex paint will hold their color much longer and are much more flexible than oil based paints. I recommend you use a 100% acrylic latex satin/ low sheen. To reply to the previous poster, Latex paint is actually waterbourne, meaning water is the solvent that dries out of the paint film. Once the product has cured, there will be no water left in the film. Plus acrylic products are much safer for the user, and easier to clean up. If you have any further questions, I recommend you go to a paint store. Not a home depot or lowes. Go to a paint store where the employees are trained to help you. Not someone from lawn and garden called over to help out.
Can you wash your car after spray painting it?
You could, if you careful not to get it on your house or neighbors house. And you might want to have tarps all over the painting area that way it doesn't hit your lawn or driveway. However, is this car a, ahem, "clunker"? If I were you I would paint a car by yourself if you aren't a pro. I'm not a pro either, but I've seen peoples cars they have tried to paint, and it didn't turn out to well...So, frankly i would send it to a professional auto painting shop.
How do you paint galvanized gutters?
Painting is all about successful surface preparation and priming. Epoxy paint does not treat the problem caused by zinc which creates peeling and lifting. Here are the best setps to success: == Lay down a thick layer of newspaper below the area to be painted. If you're working over grass, you'll want to protect your lawn from chemicals that might kill it.Step TwoUse fine wet/dry sandpaper dipped in mineral spirits and lightly sand the entire surface that is to be painted.== Allow the metal to dry.== Apply a primer designed specifically for galvanized surfaces. Check the manufacturer's recommendations - some suggest two coats with a sanding session in between.== Be sure to choose a paint that will hold up to the weather.== Apply the paint with a sprayer for the most uniform coverage.
In the morning if you walk through a grassy lawn or field quite often your feet will get very wet What is the liquid generally called and how does this happen if it hasn't rained anytime recently?
It's called dew. When the grass cools at night to a temperature that is lower than the air near it, it causes some of the water that is held in that nearby air, as a gas, to condense into a liquid, and deposit itself on the grass.
