How to Choose the Right Paint

A premium paint offers smoother, more uniform appearance as well as better coverage. Although premium paint may cost more, it maintains its durability longer, so your home doesn't require frequent repainting. In this video, Cole Schaefer, a professional painter, shares the differences between the different grades of paint and why using premium paint can truly transform a home's appearance and provide a durable finish that lasts. The quality of the paint depends upon the type and amount of ingredients used to make it. These ingredients are combined to provide different levels of application and performance properties. So what goes into a can of paint? All paints have four basic ingredients, pigment, binders, liquid, and additives. Pigment provides color coverage and gloss control binders find the pigment together and provide film integrity, and adhesion to a surface liquid, also known as the solvent, provides desired consistency and makes it possible to apply the pigment and binders to the surface. Additives are ingredients that provide specific paint properties such as mildew resistance and good flow and level. The paint property commonly referred to by professionals as volume solids or simply solids. Solids are a good first step for determining the quality of the paint once you know the solids of a product more research is still needed to identify specific properties of paint you can find some of this information on product literature labels or technical datasheets. When you buy a gallon of paint, you're essentially paying for the solids portion of that gallon, the solids are the binders and pigments that adhere to the wall and remain after the paint dries.
