Some people may think the only difference between high quality and low quality paint is the price, but there are more factors to take into account when choosing the right paint for your project. The quality of paint can affect certain characteristics and properties that paint possesses and contribute to the overall result. These can make a HUGE difference in regards to the end result, and lasting look of your project.
Below we will explain the Top 6 differences between high quality and low quality paint.
Though we may think the the paint looks great as we apply it, once paint dries a second coat is often necessary.
When using a higher quality paint, touch-ups before the second/last coat will be substantially easier to apply.
Often times the reason you choose to paint the interior or exterior of your home is to change or update the look of the space. This will require you to hide the paint you’re covering in order to keep it from showing through and discoloring your fresh paint job.
In order to prevent this there are two options, if you're choosing to use a cheaper paint then you will be required to use more coats or prime the wall first.
However, when a high quality paint is applied, it can often times conceal the color of the paint being covered entirely within 1-2 coats.
One of the highest costs in any painting project time, specifically the amount of time it take to complete the project itself.
Working with a higher quality paint is substantially easier to apply, with its ability to hide undesirable undercoats, a lot less time will be spent on painting. After the paint is applied your will also see considerably less marks from brushes and rollers; resulting in less coats to hide the imperfections.
Simply put, higher quality paint has additives that make it far less susceptible to mold and mildew.
This not only improves the paint’s durability and maintains its aesthetic overtime.
Additionally, you can avoid and negative health impacts that mold and mildew carry with it.
Deciding to paint any part of your home or business is an investment. When you invest into a higher quality paint it will be much more resistant to the wear and tear of the environment around it.
Albeit the destructive UV rays from the sun, temperature fluctuation, traffic, etc.
The type and quality of paint you choose plays a major role in how long the paint will last as well as how long it will maintain it appeal.
Generally speaking, the higher quality paint that you have, the longer it will last.
Obviously, the longer paint lasts, the longer you can go without painting again, in turn lowering your overall costs.
When you use a lower quality of paint, you will likely spend a lot more than you think you will have to due to having to apply more than one coat of paint.
Of course, the best indicator of how many coats of paint you will need rest in how the paint job looks to you when each coat of paint has dried.
