Premium Quality Paint

The common phrase "Paint is Paint" is not true and mostly used by less the informed. When you buy paint, you get what you pay for. Cheap paint is less expensive because it is thinner. It contains less pigment and binder - the most important ingredients in interior paint for an even application of colour. In contrast, expensive paints are of higher quality. Expensive paints contain more pigment and binders that provide more coverage (meaning you need fewer coats, saving on labour and regular painting). In addition, many high-quality paints are fade-resistant, meaning the colour will last longer, even in direct sunlight. One expensive can of paint often provides the coverage of two or three cans of cheap paint. Even though your cost per can will be more for expensive paint), the cost to paint could be the same or less.

When choosing paint, most individuals focus on the colour first. Of course, the right colour is a decision that you should not take lightly, as you will need to live with that choice for years. But the perfect colour will not look so great when it’s fading or peeling, or if the previous colour is bleeding through. That’s happens when using inferior paint.

Much better and longer-lasting results are achieved by using a premium brand of paint. Here are some characteristics of premium-quality paint over cheaper brands.
