Paint Stains Archives


ummm ok were staining wood and we cant get it out of the paintbrushes we used and suggestions?

Is there a special brown paint that can cover the sides of the stairs since carpet will cover the top and front. I have tried staining them but it looks horrible. I need to paint it, but not white.

I’m planning on wrapping my bosses car in wrapping paper as a joke. I’m using the Christmas wrapping paper. Do you think if it gets wet that it can damage his car paint?

I need a coffee table for my new apartment. my neighbor is willing to sell me theirs but the wood is too light in color. It is stained wood. Would it be possible for me to paint it black or dark brown on top of that stained finish? any ideas on what type of paint to use?

suggestions?

Thank you so much for any input!

I have a medium shade of tan carpet, and I have some pretty big stains of blood on the carpet. I don’t know what its from but they look really bad how do i get them out? Plus what color should I paint my room, I’m thinking something nuetril color. Remember theres a tan carpet in my room.
Sorry for the typo I meant neutral.

Ugly fireplace mantel- ugly, ugly, ugly. It’s a medium stain, complete with stains from other stuff on it, and I was thinking of painting it black. Do I need to strip? Sand? Prime? :) Thanks!
I want to hide the wood grain because it’s a cheap piece of wood. I hate when people give answers that are
a) not exactly answers to the question
and
b)condescending.
No thanks!

I do not have the money to replace the cabinets.

It is very old redwood stain on the deck. I have tried power washing. The best way I have found is a stiff scrubbing brush and muscle. I hope to stain the deck before too long and want most of the old stuff off because it is peeling.

I’ve dropped acrylic paint on my new sofa… I did what i could to sponge it away but it pretty much dried instantly so it didn’t work that well. I’ve tried soap and water on it and also nail varnish remover, has anyone got any other ideas?

Or must I just sand the whole thing down?
I guess I’m not sure if the old stain on the table is considered to fall into the "paint varnish or lacquer" category.
Thanks

Sorry Guys, I mean that the table was stained a lite/medium pine stain a think when a friend gave it to me years ago. Now it has a few water stains on it and I want to change the color to a darker cherry.

I ordered it online and the color is a little different than what was shown in the picture. It’s very pretty. But what I thought was red is actually orange. Surely there is something that would change the hue a little….doesn’t even have to be a permanent thing.

We have a 30 year old home and the baseboards and door jams are stained a dark brown. We are replacing the floor and will replace the old baseboards, but I was wondering what we could do to use the old door jams. The varnish is very thin and worn away in some places. Can we sand off the varnish, prime and paint over it? If so, how far down do we sand? I know it will be a lot of work, but I think it will be less expensive. What do you think? HELP!

my deck is 3 years old…never painted or stained…what should i do??

If I put green color dye in slime, and threw it at someone, would it stain?

Wat about glow-in-the-dark paint? How dangerous is using that?
