When I open an attachment I have to wait for it to open in Paint Shop Pro. How can I change that?
I would like for it to open without going to Paint Shop Pro.When I open an attachment I have to wait for it to open in Paint Shop Pro. How can I change that?
i think you want to associate the type of file you are opening with the default program on your comp instead of Paint Shop. Check this out: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859When I open an attachment I have to wait for it to open in Paint Shop Pro. How can I change that?
Right click on the file, click on open with, and then click choose default program. Then it will give you a list of programs that can open that file. Just click on any other program besides Paint Shop Pro and click ok.
So far as I know, when you click on a file to open, it opens the file and the program with which it was written. If you don't have this program, perhaps you could convert it to a PDF with a free online converter

What is the least time i should wash it and still look shiny?How many times i should wash my car in order for it to keep the original paint and look shiny?
Washing alone wont save your paint and keep it in original condition! you will need to wax it.
Wash atleast once a week, and depending upon the strength of the wax, atleast once every 6 months.

First wash it, then make sure you hand buff a good quality wax in.
Then wash at least once a month.
Wax once a year minimum. The first wax will keep you good for a while.
At least do it 4 times a month. or 1 or 2 times a week.

How to keep paint fresh??
Ok, so I've been doing a huge painting project on my wall and I've mixed a lot of paints from the buckets into plastic cups. I need to go on vacation for a week but i need to keep these new shades good so they don't dry out, any suggestions on how to best go about doing that? I'd REALLY appreciate it.How to keep paint fresh??
Sadly plastic isn't airtight and if your paint is in cups you will have a hard time getting a good seal even with layers of plastic wrap and foil. I'd suggest going to a craft store and buying glass jars that are sold for candle makers. Look at the number and quantity of each paint color that you have prior to shopping for jars. Acrylic paint can also stored in the refrigerator. I'd remove all the items from the vegetable drawer, this drawer is usually moister. You can place a wet towel in the bottom of it as well to add humidity.
As a side note, consider sealing your artistic creation with faux finish sealer. Lowes, Home Depot and Menards all carry as sealer sold with their regular home paint. It will last years longer and be much easier to clean and resist marks and scraps. How to keep paint fresh??
Cover the cups of paint with plastic wrap, actually let the plastic rest on top of the paint it self, creating an air-tight kind of skin...this may sound silly, but then put them fridge, on the bottom shelf or something. I have kept wet brushes fresh like this for days, and paints for weeks... this is assuming you are using Acrylic.
The best thing I've found on projects (but not as big as yours) - screw-top jars such as empty coffee jars. Cling film might do it (tight over the cups), but the oxygen is mixing with your paint already, and there might be a skin over the paints if they are not completely air-tight.

Primer...?What type of paint can i use to color my dash, steering wheel and door panels on my 1999 eclipse? An how?
I used Krylon Fusion for plastics, clean the area with a hot towel and let dry, clean with rubbing alcohol, and then spray a few coats of paint and then clear coat, u could use an adhesion promoter if you'd please but its your choice, about the leather im not sure because ive never done it, but i do know of the vinyl paint that last person was talking about, its made by Duplicolor, i used it to color my carpet black but i wouldnt suggest it to anyone =(

You can buy vinyl paint from auto stores. My brother painted parts of his dash and door panels with it and it looks really professional. I'm not sure if he did anything to ';prime'; it, but I'm pretty sure he didn't have to do anything other than clean the surface first. He put painter's tape around the parts he didn't want to be painted, and took apart whatever he could so that it would be easier to paint and he wouldn't get paint in other parts of his car. I'm pretty sure it was spray paint, but I'm not positive... but just go to someplace like Auto Zone and ask about vinyl paint.

What are the right temperatures for applying polyurethane paint to any surface? How achieve high gloss?
Is it a water-based or oil-based polyurethane? That will determine the temps. Oils can be used in much lower temperatures and higher humidity than latexes, but they're more of a pain to work with and yellow significantly over time. You don't want to apply latexes in temperatures under about 45 degrees F. But you also don't want to apply latexes when it's too hot, either. If it dries too quickly, you'll have adhesion problems.
If you want a high gloss, buy a the coating in a high gloss sheen. Gloss of a coating is mainly determined by how small the solids particles are ground. If your preferred product isn't availbable is a full gloss, you can increase the sheen of your semi-gloss by simply applying more than the recommended two coats.What are the right temperatures for applying polyurethane paint to any surface? How achieve high gloss?
the best temp is 77 degrees Fahrenheit and 50 percent relative humidity. the best way i have found to get it really glossy is to buy a foam roller from like lowes or home depot. there like four inches long and about an inch in diamiter. they roll it on really nicely. then after 4-6 hours sand with 220 grit sand paper and apply more. the more times you do it the glossier it gets. twice usually dose it. it also helps that after you roll it on wait like 20 minutes and then roll it again with the roller not putting more polyurethane on it and it will help to remove the bubbles.... remember never to shake the can to mix it use a stick.What are the right temperatures for applying polyurethane paint to any surface? How achieve high gloss?
Anything above 80 f. Actually the warmer the better. Mix it, if using a sprayer for the best results, as stated on can to go through the spray process. Spray on first coat very thin and wait for a few minutes for it to get tacky. That is when you do the second coat a little thicker but still not too thick. Wait for it to dry a bit and get tacky and do another coat, all in all about 4 to 6 coats. The last coat you want to put on a bit thicker but watch that you don't get so much it runs. That should leave a high gloss shine when it dries and a very nice coat. Before you start painting you need to be sure to get a tack cloth and get all the dust particles off as if you don't, they will show up on the finished product.
