Quality, not Quantity: The Importance of Using Quality Paint

When most people prepare to paint their homes, they have a specific color and finish in mind to complete their interior decor or to add a little polish to their exterior look. They may want to experiment with an accent wall or try adding a few geometric designs to a room to add in a little visual interest. However, what you–like many other homeowners like you–may not have considered is the importance of your paint quality. Why should you spend extra money on high-end paint when you can get the discount version for a bargain?

Though a cheaper paint may help you stretch your decorating budget a little further, it will leave you with a less-than-stellar finished product that will probably require you to apply touchups and new coats much more frequently. Discount paints can flake and crack easily, making the interior or exterior of your home look outdated and worn down. Conversely, quality paints last for years with the proper application by your Orlando painting team and diligent maintenance, and will give you the vibrant home you’ve always desired.

How do you know that your paint is of good quality when it comes time to refresh your home? Here are a few things to look for:

• High solids percentage. Paints that have a higher quantity of solids–the pigments and binders mixed with the liquid solvent–tend to go on smoother and dry thicker. You want your solids percentage by volume to be higher, with quality acrylic and oil-based paints coming in at over 50 percent.
• Acrylic binders. Orlando painting experts for the spec sheet.
• The right paint for the job.
