Choosing The Correct Paint
Great post...I'm re-blogging to the Property Management group. When I have property owners leave me EXTRA PAINT for touch ups between tenants, I don't have the heart to tell them that it is often better/cheaper to use NEW paint color/finish of same color rather than trying to re-constitute old or dried paint.
Paint left too long in cold or heat (unheated/uncooled basement or garage) won't be worth more than the color code.
Homeowners are often confounded by the confusing terminology and various types of paint available for their use, and it’s easy for them to make mistakes. While it may not appear to make a difference—after all, many of the finishes look similar when applied—choosing the correct paint is crucial to achieving the desired performance.
Whether the job is a redo of the entire exterior or the painting of an accent wall in a bedroom, understanding the proper paint to use is vital to both the appearance and serviceability. Those who need to know more about choosing the correct paint can follow the links below for expert guidance on their next painting project.
