WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN
A PAINT.
COVERAGE & HIDING
POWER
The combination of Coverage and
Hiding Power is essential to a quality paint.
Coverage refers to how far a paint will spread.
Hiding determines it's ability to paint over another
color. A good quality paint spreads easily and
hides the existing color while still wet. This
ensures you use the minimum amount of paint to
achieve good hide when dry. Together, Coverage
and Hiding Power mean a more efficient, less time
consuming and less costly paint job.

APPLICABILITY
& SPLATTER
The way a paint goes on tells a lot about its
quality. A good paint applies easily, without
excessive dripping, running, bubbling or splatter.
Along with providing a smoother coat, a paint
that applies easily makes the job less trying
an probably means you'll need to repaint less
often. As well, a quality paint that reduces splatter
means more paint on the walls and ceiling, less
on the painter, furniture, carpets and floors. |
ADHESION & SCRUBBABLITY
Adhesion and Scrubbability are important features
to look for when choosing paint, especially if
you're painting wall s that suffer more than the
occasional bump or that require frequent cleaning.
Proper adhesion means your paint is less likely
to chip, crack or peel under these conditions.
Scrubbability ensures that it doesn't lose its
gloss or color every time it's washed. Quality
paints combine both these features to minimize
the need for repainting too often. |
