While the desert sun may make bright colors fade, Las Vegas' low humidity makes painting a little easier. When it's hot and dry, the paint dries faster. Another advantage to the desert is that a person can almost paint year-round. During the hottest part of the year, paint before 11 a.m. During the cooler part of the year, paint in mid-day.
Lower temperatures make brushing and rolling more difficult and slows the drying process.
Be prepared Painting can be made less painful by taking the advice of experts. Most paint professionals agree. If you skim over prep work, you will spend more time at the end making corrections. Any surface to be painted must be clean, whether interior or exterior, the pros say. Preparing the interior of a house includes removing anything that is removable, covering up things that can't be moved and making sure all surfaces are cleaned, repaired and smooth before you begin the painting process.
