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?
