Whats new.

I just used the ' Aura' paint from Benjamin Moore. I really liked the way it covered and adhered to the surface. The colour I used covered really well although I know it's not true with all the colours. The one drawback is the cost but the covering ability of the paint enabled me to only put one coat on some very hard to reach area's, saving the customer lots of money.
So I guess the cost of the paint can definitely be cancelled out by the cost of the painter.
Too many people don't see past the price of the can of paint, I've seen some horrible quality paint come out of some of the big box stores, bought by unsuspecting consumers who didn't take the time to arm themselves with the information  needed to make a smart decision.

A new year of new products

When you dip your paintbrush into a can of new "green" paint this year, don't be surprised at how different it might be. With the new regulations and higher cost of raw materials, paint is not what it used to be.
When the paint manufacturers removed the VOC's (volatile organic compounds) it changed how the paint acts and changed how long it will last.
I have found that the new paint dries way too fast, and adhesion is not as good.
Some companies used to mix alkyde or other compounds into their exterior paint to make them stronger and more resistant to weather. Not anymore.
So expect to pay more. Expect to paint more often. Bad news! but we must change, right?
