I have to paint this hard like sponge thats inside of my car on the door and was just wondering if paint was ok for it..Can paint stay on sponge?

@Can paint stay on sponge?
Are you talking about the stripping?
Yes it does
Yes acrylic would be good but it might take a few coats.
it will probably soak in...so I would say yes
Wouldn't it get absorbed ?

I just painted my livingroom walls pale green with mint green sponging on top now I don't like my tan curtains

any ideas on what colors to use I have a bow windowI just painted my livingroom walls pale green with mint green sponging on top now I don't like my tan curtains
chocolate brown is a popular color, and it would look nice with green, and with dark wood furniture if you have it.I just painted my livingroom walls pale green with mint green sponging on top now I don't like my tan curtains
I would use PEACH ';light';
I do this for a living. I'd suggest keep the drapes. Paint is cheaper.


Also KEEP the green bottom, but redo the top. Is there a chair rail?





Take the drape color if it's light and use as the base top color, then one or two shades off, sponge the texture over it.





Accents on the top can still be in complimentaries to the bottom color, but Tan/camel, and a forest green, or teal, bottom look elegant in the combination.





All this of course depends on your desire to keep the drapes,,,or not. I think however, the contrasts work best. Too much of the green might become OLD in time. That said,,, GREEN is my favorite color, but tempering it might be more appealing.





The good news, as I said, is that paint is relatively inexpensive, and can be changed at whim. Draperies might be more than you want to change with every attitude?

Bright white. It will give the room a crisp and clean look.
I would try something such as a striped green that matches and white. Or try something such as double layering. meaning, white goes well in general. Either way that you like, but I think the green on top and the white behind (or even an ivory color) would look better. But you get a double rod and buy two sets of curtains. You put one color on top and pull it back nice and tight, and the other you pull back so that it is a little looser so that it shows even though it is behind the other. You could also try getting curtains, and have the colors match the two colors on the wall. You can never go wrong in coordinating the colors of the curtains with the wall color. Good Luck!!
Deep rose always looks fabulous with pale green!
i had painted the dining room in my house an olive type green. white made it loo to formal, and pristine, then tried tan didnt like it. ended up going to peir one and found some multi colored curtains. they are stiped with reds, greens, tans yellows i then got some paintings and other accesories for the room that had the colors of the curtains in them to bring all the colors together
i would use a bright green color
i would go for yellow
what about adding a thick ribbon or material edging to the bottom of the curtain that has some pale green, cream print to tie them into the walls. could be a inexpensive way to tie it together
Add a pale/mint green valance to your window, that would accent your walls, to minimize your tan curtains, but not eliminate them!! If you like the curtain in general, but don't thing it'll go with your newly painted living room, that's ok, just accent your room with tan, add tan throw cushions to your sofa or a tan tossed throw over a chair in the room, to add some more tan to the room. Don't replace your curtains, if you can use more of that color!
A deep purple or blue would go well.
summer in coming why don't you try decorative sheers in the pale green
If you pick just the right decor or painting that can tie the tan and green together, it may magically look just perfect without having to change anything. This link has a green color palette along with some matching paintings that may harmonize the mix use of tan and green: www.decozee.com/pgreen.htm

Seeking rainbow pancake face/body paint in one container. Wipe with sponge and colours applied simultaneously?

This stuff is great as you just use a clean damp sponge and wipe it firmly on the pancake then wipe on a childs arm. The rainbow effect is instant and gorgeous. You can then decorate with glitter paint flowers or child's name. Quick and easy if you have lots of kids to paint! I live in Melbourne Australia and can't find this anywhere. Have tried largest theatrical make up stokist here with no luck. Perhaps you know of a big UK or USA store taht sells this on line to interational buyers???Seeking rainbow pancake face/body paint in one container. Wipe with sponge and colours applied simultaneously?
It's not made by any of the makeup companies, it's made by the sellers. Silly Farm Supplies - www.sillyfarm.com has it, and I'm pretty sure they're ship internationally.





Another hint is to use your brush to apply makeup to the sponge then sponge on :)Seeking rainbow pancake face/body paint in one container. Wipe with sponge and colours applied simultaneously?

What type of paint for sponging on glass jar? ?

Hi there,


I'm making light up pumpkins from jars and need to know of a paint that I can use on glass. I'm going to sponge it on so it isn't too opaque. The jar will have a single light bulb in it and will light up. Any ideas of what type of paint will work well?


Thanks!What type of paint for sponging on glass jar? ?
Try Ranger's Acrylic Paint. Or Ranger's Alcohol inks is another alternative - gives you very nice background patterns on glass. What type of paint for sponging on glass jar? ?
Actually I don't know if the brand of paint matters Acrylic is the obvious choice because it dries fast. If you do it without primer I'd make sure the glass is squeaky clean, a vinegar rinse should help.





Plaid has paint specifically for glass called Gallery Glass.


If you are going to keep these around after Halloween you should prime the surface so the paint sticks. Plaid also has a primer. If you plan on having the painting on the glass surface last, a sealer would be a good idea to help keep it from peeling off.

Yes. Try painting a regular house cleaning sponge for a test. If it's flexible, get a flexible paint. Stop in your local auto parts dept and ask them. Good luck.Can paint stay on sponge?

Sponge painting question?

I'm working on painting a ceiling tile at school, and I'm attempting to paint a crowd (like in a basketball arena) for the background of my ceiling tile. However, looking at it, I realized that I don't want to paint that many people!





does anyone know of a quicker way I can paint people, or at least make it look like a crowd. I realize that the far back people don't have to be as detailed so I considered cutting out people out of sponges, then putting paint on the sponge, and then sponging it on. But I'm not sure if that will work?








does anyone have any other suggestion ???Sponge painting question?
a good idea it to just use circles for the heads in various colors to gid the effect that people are actually there

Sponge or Jelly paint brush?

-on neopets-


I tried looking for a sponge/jelly paint brush in the trades, but I just can't find one! Does anyone have one or know of anyone that is selling one?Sponge or Jelly paint brush?
You're not going to find those paint brushes anywhere because they don't exist! Sponge and Jelly are Lab Ray exclusive colors. That means the only way to turn a pet Sponge or Jelly would be to use the lab ray. You could hope to get lucky and come across someone who fosters lab rats who has zapped a pet into Sponge or Jelly, but there's no guarantee that you'd get the pet. (See the link below for more information about the lab ray, including a list of lab ray exclusive colors.)





Good luck!

Should I try sponging to change the paint in my kitchen?

I painted my kitchen last year and I'm growing tired of the color now. You can consider it either a light gold or light mustard-yellow. My kitchen isn't big at all so instead of painting the whole thing over, I thought I'de try a fun technique such as rag-rolling or sponging. Any tips on how to do this? Which colors should I go with? I'm assuming it would have to be colors in the yellow family - how many different shades should I use?Should I try sponging to change the paint in my kitchen?
I've done sponging many times. I actually prefer doing the feathering with a brush instead. You can buy products that are meant for just that purpose. They have the clear gloss in them so they are more translucent. You can make your own too. I suggest you go back to the paint shop. Tell them what you want to do, the colour you have, and they can guide you as to what colours and products will work best and show you samples as well.





Work in small patches when you start too because the paint will thicken and dry up, so no more than 2 foot by 2 foot areas at a time.





Home Depot actually has courses that are free on the weekends you can attend and even practice these things.Should I try sponging to change the paint in my kitchen?
I've seen sponging done and I'm not the biggest fan of it. It has to be done pretty well and with just the right colors to look well. And up close it doesn't look that good. Sponging looks better when looked at from a distance. Also it's not the quickest to do. It would probably be faster and look better if you just repainted it a solid color. You're already sick of the yellow and the yellow color will still somewhat be there, so it probably won't be long before you get tired of the sponged look that still has that yellow color in it that you are already sick of.





If you still decide that you want to do sponging. I recommend that you practice on a piece of cardboard first and only buy a small amount of paint, just enough to practice, instead of enough to do the whole room. Paint the cardboard the same color as your room. Then try sponging the cardboard (about a 12';x12'; piece or larger will do) and see if you like the look. Then get some painter's tape and put a ring of painter's tape on the back and stick the finished cardboard piece on the wall and see if you like the look. It's better to do a test painting on carboard, instead of wasting money by buying enough to do the whole room then finding out you don't like the look of it. I can raise my hand to doing that mistake before.
I honestly dont think sponging would make your kitchen better. I really think it would make it ugly also that technique is from the 1990s so its really outdated. But I will suggest maybe going with striping by using painters tape. You could also go with maybe a two tone. I think striping will give the illusion of taller walls and depth. I think if you keep it simple it will look the best.

Kitchen Sponge scratched car paint?

I was washing my car today, and without thinking of examining the sponge I used it. I now see scratches all over my car, not deep, but visible. What do I do to fix this.





I do not want the response go to a body/paint shop. Looking for store products that can helpKitchen Sponge scratched car paint?
Start with the least aggressive compound, then move up if it doesn't work. I'd start with Scratch X, apply using a foam applicator and work in small areas. If that doesn't work, you cna move up to something like Ultimate Compound (both are Meguiars products), but be careful with it and follow the directions. Rubbing compounds are abrasive, and used improperly can cause as much, if not more, damage than your sponge. Once you've finished, polish and wax to protect the paint. For future use if you'd like, there's a nice write up on detailing here: http://www.squidoo.com/showcardetailingKitchen Sponge scratched car paint?
3M makes several products that will take the scratches out. You want to use a light duty rubbing compound. You can buy these products at any auto parts store...Autozone, Advanced Auto, Napa, ect.. You can take the scratches out, using this product, by hand. If the scratches are all over the car you might want to have it buffed, as this will be faster?
Just use a wax with a fine polishing agent - and throw that sponge away.
man idk but all i gotta say is i bet you were pissed off that sucks man

Can I clean my painted turtles shell with a sponge?

yes it is entirely possible, in-fact i clean all of my turtles shells with old toothbrushes and those work fine as well,





(just be shure if you ever own a soft-shell turtle that you don't use any abrasive on its shell as it could tear)Can I clean my painted turtles shell with a sponge?
Chances are, you do not need to. If there is a good reason for doing it (in other words, not to make it look pretty), you will do better with an old toothbrush.Can I clean my painted turtles shell with a sponge?
i don't know why you wouldn't be able to, just make sure the sponge is clean and you wash your hands after. Don't use soap.
I don't see why not. As long as you're gentle and wash them thoroughly you should be fine. Not too much water or any hard scrubbing though. I love turttlesss!
put them in boiling water. they'll become clean and shiny~ trust me ^-^
yes

options:





You are a drug addict.





You are pregnant.





You have a psychological disorder.





All of the above.I've got a really strong desire to smell paint and turpentine and to put sponge in my mouth.?
Look up pica and see if it applies to you.


Eating a well balanced diet of all the nutrients you needs maybe help.


Maybe you feel anxious and feel compelled to do it.


Just don't do it, occupy yourself with exercise, or reading.

Can paint stay on sponge?

I have to paint this hard like sponge thats inside of my car on the door and was just wondering if paint was ok for it..Can paint stay on sponge?
Yes, paint will stay on a sponge depending on the type of paint. Talk with the paint person at your local paint store or walmart to make sure the paint doesn't create a hard ';shell'; that would chip off with the inevitable movement of the sponge. Even if the sponge is hard, it will still have some properties that allow its shape to absorb pressure. Paint that gets hard will likely be a problem.

How to sponge paint cabinets?

Our old kitchen cabinets were stripped and painted with a white gloss about ten years ago. Looked great, but not anymore. We are remodeling and getting new kitchen cabinets in late 2009, so dh is NOT interested in redoing ANYTHING right now but I am itching to do SOMETHING. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to sponge paint over these cabinets, if I clean them up. I know they will have some buildup of grease on them, even though I have tried to keep them clean over the years. But they look icky to me and I figured sponge painting would be quick, cheap, dh wouldnt have to do any work, and I could maybe even do it in a day before he even gets home. Would it work, or will nothing stick to an old white gloss? Or if it will, what kind of paint should I use to sponge over the white? It's not even going to be around for 2 years but I am just aching to do something to these cabinets and dh is adamant that he is not taking cabinet doors off hinges, stripping, and all the other tedious details. Any tips or ideas would be appreciated. How to sponge paint cabinets?
Like Richard said, you would want to remove the gloss so the paint will stick. You can use acrylic craft paints or latex wall paint. You will probably want to get some clear glaze to mix with the paint. This slows the drying time so you can work with it and also gives you a little transparency, if you want, depending upon how much you use. Mask off the areas you don't want painted. Sea sponges are great for sponging and are available at the big hardware stores. When it is all dry and beautiful you can put a clear coat of polyurethane over top of it in a gloss finish. Have fun! How to sponge paint cabinets?
being a painting contractor, you can do a couple of things. the proper way is to sand off the sheen and prime the cabinets. then put two thin coats of paint. this is however a lot more work than people think. the second way which i don't recommend but will work is to use a product called PESO. this is a deglosser, which you will simply wash the surface with this and then prime and paint. if you don't want to take the time to prime you can paint with benjamin moore aura or fine paints of europe. these are the only paints that i would trust to stick to an unprimed surface. i hope this helps. have a good day.

Painting my teenage daughters new room? not sure what colors to sponge over the barn red walls?

my daughter has her color scheme as red black and white, id like to make it lookk elegant as she will be 17 or at least calming in a way. her walls are barn red. Id like her to have more white with black on her bedspread(she wants red sheets)her furniture is all black. I do think it will look pretty when its all together but id really love suggestions for sponging over her red walls to lighten up the room- i thought possible a white and pale pink? Also what about putting whatever color we do decide into a pump spray bottle and putting it on that way? ThanksPainting my teenage daughters new room? not sure what colors to sponge over the barn red walls?

WHY not do it with a stencil as a pattern you can also do it with the spray or sponge

...ple-e-ase do not mix red with pink! echhh! - even though pink is derived from red, it's an absolute clash of color to put them side by side!





I think you should talk to your daughter first - get her opinion %26amp; move with that. Her preferences may be different than yours, so please don't dictate what you want her room to be...





tatiana %26amp; silver phoenix have good suggestions - heed them...
We have a red wall in our living room, it was sponged over very lightly and sparsely with a gold and a deeper red shade. looks classy!


and i would use a sponge, you have more control over the amount and thickness of paint you put over the wall.
What about repainting the walls first a shade of red your daughter wants for her sheets and then use the sponge with white paint lightly so it is easy to see the red but still the wall is mostly white.
you should just sponge over the red with a darker shade of red and another shade darker just to get a good even look
In General it looks best when sponge coating to do a variation of the same color as the sponge coats.





I would suggest taking the red she has as a base color and lightening it up by about 50% and sponging over the base. Let it completely dry. Then taking the original base red and darkening it down by 50% and sponge over the top of the first 2 coats. After the top coat dries, you could repeat this process by lighten the lighter variation and darkening the darker variation then adding 2 more coats by repeating the process above.





Just a few notes:


- Use a Natural Sea Sponge


- Rotate the sponge before each time you touch the wall.


- Overlap the sponging to create an even coat without a repeating pattern.


-Sponge coats should allow the colors underneath to show through, so do not apply too heavily.


-The more varying color coats you apply the more three dimensional and interesting the effect will be.





Spray bottles rarely work with paint and are very messy. There is a paint technique called 'spattering' that would give you the effect of dots of paint on the walls in random patterns but this too is a very messy process.





As far as calming, good luck with the color red, I personally can't think of a less calming color.
