Just painted my daughter's closet, but the smell of new paint is real strong. Is there anything one can do to get rid of the smell faster? leaving the windows open is not an option as it is the middle of the summer in Phoenix.

The only thing I can think of would be to put a fan on the closet blowing high.This would speed up the process a bit but may not be much help.Other than that something to mask the smell may be of some use.

Dark tone latex without tint

on Jul 27, 2000

What happens if a dark latex base paint, in this case, burgandy base is used without tinting? It is the color desired as is, but can says it must be tinted. How much tinting is required and in this case who knows what color tint. Paint bought on a close out.

Manufactured Home Walls

on Jul 11, 2000

Help. I own a manufactured home. Most of my interior walls are taped and textured, except for my extra bedrooms and bathrooms. I guess these walls are some sort of sheetrock with a vinyl covering. I suppose something like wallpaper with the molding strips in the corners and along the ceiling. Here is my question? I would really like to paint over the covering (which has a slight texture to it). Can I do this?
