house paint question

[Greyd]

So I got my paint mixed yesterday, but haven't used it yet. I'm planning on painting today. Does it matter that it has been sitting since yesterday? Is simply mixing it with the paint stick enough? Or do I need it "shaken" at the store again?

Thanks

Stir stick will be fine.

best is drill with a stiring attachment. cheap plastic one is less than 5 bucks at the hardware store

Stir it with the stick and you will be fine. I've stirred with the stick on paint I have had for about a year and it mixes back up just fine (takes a while if it separates badly).

Hose the wall and let dry before you start and primer between coats. Stir stick FTW.

well for outside yea, use high pressure sprayer or strong nozzle.
paint prep is seriously a pain in the neck.
inside you gotta cover decent chunk of the floor if you don't want a mess. wipe down walls, cover holes etc

bah...just take the can and throw the paint on the wall....not like you are painting a portrait. Sure you need a lot more paint, but it's quick and easy and then your landscaping matches. Just get a razor scraper for the windows or enjoy the energy savings you gain.
