House Painting Trivia Questions
1. Argh! Rover came into the house and splattered mud all over the wall Lars painted last week. Lars scrubs the wall immediately with soap and water only to find that the paint is coming off. Why is this happening?

From Quiz The Perils of Painting

Answer: Lars used acrylic paint and it's not cured yet

Although acrylic paint dries quickly (in 4 to 5 hours, or 1 hour touch dry), it actually takes a month to completely cure. Refrain from washing the walls during this time.

2. Lars decides to spruce up a dingy stippled ceiling that has never been painted. He buys some acrylic paint and starts rolling it on. Oh oh! The stipple is coming off and falling onto the floor. Why?

From Quiz The Perils of Painting

Answer: Water-based paint should not be put on an unpainted stippled ceiling

The stipple will absorb the water from the acrylic paint, loosen its bond, and fall off the ceiling. It is best to use an alkyd or oil-based paint for the initial coat. Acrylic paint can then be used for future coatings. Stippled ceilings can be rolled or sprayed, but the rules still apply for both methods.

3. What are some of the basic tools used in painting?

From Quiz House Painting 101

Answer: brush, roller, tray, edger, tape & dropcloth

Linesmans, dikes, screwdriver, strippers & tester are tools that an Electrician would use. A hammer, level, square, chaulkline & saw are tools that an Carpenter would use. Wrenches, sockets, mirror, timing gun & visegrips are tools that an Mechanic would use.

4. Why do you use primer?

From Quiz House Painting 101

Answer: To seal the surface and prepare it to accept paint.

You must use Primer when the surface hasn't ever been painted, when going from a dark color to a light color or when the surface is stained with nicotine, crayon, ink or has lots of scuff marks.

5. Lars has black smoke stains on his kitchen wall after his fried chicken caught fire on the stove. Cleaning didn't remove the marks so he painted over it. Sure enough, the stain bled through the paint. What should he have done instead?

From Quiz The Perils of Painting

Answer: Used a stain-blocking primer before painting

There are special primers formulated to seal in tough stains. Once the primer is dry a regular top coat of paint can be used.

6. What is the recommended technique used for wall painting?

From Quiz House Painting 101

Answer: Brushing-in and rolling

There are two types of brushes, Flat and Angled. They come in a variety of sizes and are made of different materials. Rollers consist of a roller handle and a roller cover and they come in a variety of sizes, textures and thickness'.

7. What is the most common way for a homeowner to paint a ceiling?

From Quiz House Painting 101

Answer: Roll

Most homeowners "roll" their ceilings. You can use a paint roller and tray or a paint stick. The only places you will have to brush are around the edges and any ceiling fixtures that are in the area.
