Decorating & Remodeling - December 2006

I'm refinishing an electric guitar. However, throughout the spraying process (grey paint), the paint can randomly ejects little paint lumps onto the surface. Then, I have to wipe all the paint off and try again, hoping I can finish before any lumps get sprayed.

I don't understand, since it's a brand new can. What can I do to make the paint go on perfectly smooth?

I want to keep the rust from coming off. This bucket is the perfect color for my bathroom and I want to etch an outhouse on it to match what I already have going on in this bathroom. It is the right size to become the garbage can.

Okay this is a question for all you DIY experts. I am wanting to paint my kid's room, which has had problems in the past with damp. The wallpaper has now been removed and this has left quite an uneven finish. So having used a bit of sandpaper this made it quite smooth, but then i went over this with a damp cloth which made it sticky and gluey. What should I do before painting, the paint that i have got is used for rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms to deal with the damp.

When I visit my girlfriend on Cape Cod, I've noticed a phenomenon of putting these big stars on the sides of homes. Recently I've come across some of these stars in antique shops in Maryland although typically Marylanders do not put these on their houses anymore. I suspect it was something done in the past. The stars are made of tin and they can be 2 to 3 ft in diameter and brightly painted.

Hi ^_^

I have my apartment up for sale, and I'm having my first viewing this afternoon. In reality I should be cleaning it RIGHT NOW, as opposed to sitting here messing around on Yahoo Answers, but whatever. o_0

Do you guys have any advice as to what I can do to make the place look, smell and feel a little nicer when the prospective buyer comes over? Obviously I'm going to make sure it's neat, tidy and fresh-smelling, but is there anything else I can try?

Thanks guys!

I bought an old hard wood childrens school desk (and chair) that has a hole for the ink well. Could you give some advice as to what is the best polish or treatment? I don't want them to look new, but it looks like they could use some moisture. I've heard that some furniture polishes are not that good for old furniture..

My kitchen is 25 years old. If I can only replace one thing per month, should I begin with an energy star refrigerator? Do you replace the floor before or after the refrigerator? Would the dishwasher be the next appliance in order of energy savings? Or the lighting? And then the stove? Would the cabinet work be done before or after the lighting? Should I prioritize aquiring an energy efficient washer & dryer? My intent is to save energy and improve safety (the stove) and have peace of mind about the appearance of the kitchen.
