Wrought Iron

 

For rusting and peeling wrought iron, wire brush and scape throroghly to remve all loose and flaking material. Sand all spots as close as possible to bare metal, feathering the edges of the old paint. Spot prime with a rust-inhibiting metal primer-an alkyd- or oil-base primer, then paint with an oil base top coat. Oil-base is more effective than Latex paint because it will not leave small pinholes for water to seep through and cause further rust.

Removing Pop-Corn Ceiling

If your Inexperienced or a Do-It-Yourself er and want to remove Pop-Corn Texture from your ceiling. Simply get a garden sprayer, a 6' ladder or two 4' ladders and a plank (much faster). Also a 6"- 8" scraper or putty knife, plastic drop cloth (Caution slippery when wet). To avoid slipping place an old bed sheet over plastic drop cloth. You will need a hat, eye protection and a face mask. Ok, now that you got all your equipment, next lay down drop cloth and set-up ladder. Fill up the garden sprayer with warm to hot water. Then spray textured ceiling in a 4x5 section, wait a few seconds to let the texture soak up the water and then scrap area. Just repeat steps in sequence.

Painting Double-hung Windows

When painting windows, start by raising the lower (inner) sash as high as it will go, then lower the upper sash all the way down. Next paint the lower half of the upper sash. Then slide each sash back into normal position (the upper one at the top and the lower one at the bottom), leaving each one open an inch or two top and bottom. Paint the rest of the upper and lower sashes, first coating the narrow strips between the panes of glass, then outerr frame of each sash. Also paint the top edge, the frame around the the window is painted next, again from top to bottom. The windowsill is done last.

Roller Cover & Nap

All paint rollers have removable covers or sleeves that are generally interchangeable with covers of the same width. These covers have fibers or naps different length to suit the type of surface being painted and the type of finish you are applying.  For flat wall paint, a cover with 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch nap is suitable for smooth surface walls and ceilings. For heavy stippled or textured surfaces a 3/4-inch nap will do much better at penetrating crevices. If painting really rough surfaces, like brick, stucco or shingles then a 1 1/2-inch nap will be your best bet.
