How do I use the paint?
You can use a brush, roller or paint-sprayer to apply the paint. It is recommended that the paint be thoroughly mixed and filtered prior to use. Additional filtering and/or thinning may be required before applying it with a paint sprayer. Many painters thin the paint using 1:3 or 1:4 water to paint ratios; test a small portion before using.

Can I use the paint inside and outside?
Lincoln County Solid Waste District's recycled latex paint can be used both inside and outside. Because the paint contains a combination of glosses, acrylics and enamels, the resulting product is a low-sheen (between flat and satin) finish. It is very durable, can be washed and scrubbed, and usually covers in one coat.

How much paint will I need?
Each 5-gallon pail covers from 1,000 to 1,500 square feet, depending on the application method and painting surface.
