3 Determining Factors
In painting, a good result depends first on 3 determining factors:
• Surface preparation
• Adequate painting material
• the quality of your paint
But what exactly does “quality” mean and how does quality paint differ from inexpensive versions?
Cheap Vs. Higher Price
The quality of paint is largely influenced by the quantity and type of binder present in it.
An inexpensive paint contains fewer binders and is mainly composed of filler; it will, therefore, be porous.
This also means that the paint will be difficult to maintain. On the other hand, roller or brush strokes and all overlaps will remain visible once the paint has dried.
Low-quality, low-budget paint also contains more titanium dioxide, which does not offer much covering power.
Not advisable if you don’t want to apply several coats to achieve a good result.
Advantages of Quality Paint
· Good covering power: With quality paint, you need fewer coats to perfectly cover your surface. And fewer layers is also less work. For most interiors, the goal is often to achieve a perfect result with a base coat and a top coat only.
· Excellent adhesion: Quality paint guarantees the best possible adhesion to the surface. Thus, the result of your paint job is not likely to flake after some time.
· Ease of application: Good paint is easily applied to the wall. It is flexible, easy to spread on the surface, and gives uniform, even results.
· Minimal splashes: A quality paint does not splash as much. It consists only of high-quality raw materials mixed in a balanced manner and it is only put on sale after having undergone several application tests.
· Optimal color accuracy: Quality paint has greater color accuracy than low-cost versions. The paint is exactly the same shade as your sample, and with quality paint, there will be no variations in color intensity from one area to another.
• Easy maintenance: a quality paint is easier to maintain because its binder is of better quality and present in greater quantity, which ensures that the paint has a longer life. Also, the paint is less susceptible to damage from all kinds of contact.
Please note: there is still a difference in maintenance in quality paints. Thus, glossy paint will be even more washable than matt paint.
There is no doubt, quality paint has a host of advantages. You will pay a little more, but you will be guaranteed to obtain a beautiful and lasting result.
