If you paint the rental yourself, deduct the cost of paint. Painting a rental property is not usually a depreciable expense. In most cases, however, you can write it off as a deductible business expense instead. The IRS divides any work you put in on your rental into improvements and repairs. You claim the total cost of repairs on your taxes, but depreciate improvements.
A microburst is a small, very intense downdraft that descends to the ground resulting in a strong wind divergence. The size of the event is typically less than 4 kilometers across. Microbursts are capable of producing winds of more than 100 mph causing significant damage.

In confectionery terms, Starburst is a candy positively exploding with fruity flavor.
