Can I Use Latex Paint On Wood? A DIY Discussion with Joey and Chandler
Hey, Joey and Chandler, I need some DIY advice. Can I use latex paint on wood?
Hey, absolutely! You may not know this because I usually don't talk about anything but werewolf movies, but latex paint actually adheres really well to wood.
Surprisingly, despite his obsession with werewolves, Joey's correct. But remember, preparation is key. Make sure the wood is clean, dry, and smoothly sanded before starting.
Got it, I'll prepare the surface first. Which latex paint do you guys suggest?
Hmm... this isn't like picking a werewolf movie. It really depends on the project. Exterior or interior? Something that needs to be weatherproof?
And despite it not being as fun as a debate about vampire movies, you also need to consider if you need a high gloss, semi-gloss, eggshell, satin, or matte finish. Each will bring different aesthetics to your project.
Alright, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks guys!
No problem! Just remember, applying latex paint is a lot like watching a werewolf movie. The initial prep might be a hassle, but the outcome will be worth it!
Oh and don't forget, if you need help, just give a holler, preferably not at the same volume you'd use while watching a vampire movie.
