Q. I was given the wrong paint while working on a project, and am now worried about the paint buckling because it is interior paint on an outside wall. Can I simply paint over it with exterior paint or would it still lead to buckling because of the binding in the interior paint?
A. Sorry to say but simply painting over the interior paint with an exterior paint will not work. The elements will break down the binding of the interior paint coating and start peeling or splitting both that coat and the exterior coat on top. How large was the area that you have to redo? The best thing is to remove the original layer of paint and re-paint. Unfortunately! You will be told that you can use other products or methods but none of them will work as well as stripping off that layer of interior paint.
Accidentally put interior paint on the exterior of my home?
Q. There was a mix up at the paint store I guess. There was existing exterior paint on the trim, I painted it today with interior paint - can I just put exterior paint over it or do I have to strip it off?
A. You should be ok, especially if the paint was oil/solvent based rather than water based. Whenever you choose to repaint there is no need to strip this off.
Someone decided to use interior paint to throw on the side of my door. What can I do to remove the paint?
Q. Some ahole decided to throw blue interior paint on my white car. I used a wet rag to attempt to remove the paint, but now there is a blue stain left on the car. Is there anything I can do to remove that stain without having to take it to a shop?
A. not really... you will need to get it buffed out which is pretty inexpensive to have done. The paint probably penetrated into the micro scratches in the top coat.
