You recently move and finally you have chosen the perfect colors for your new home and are about to run down to the store and get them. Although you are one step closer to "glamoring" your new residence, you need to make a quick pause and see that you understand the difference between the different paint finishes, especially between that use for interiors vs. exteriors.

If you accidently choose the wrong finish, your painting project will be heading down for disaster. Know the differences to avoid painting problems. Before you start using that left-over paint that has been lying in your attic or garage for long months, you need to determine the space that is going to be painted. After you do this and know how much paint you will need, make sure that 1. your left-over paint is still in good condition and 2. that it is enough to get your project done. Now, what type of paint you will use? Not all paint is created equal so don’t think, not even for a second, that you can buy one pile and be over with it. There is a reason why they have different names such as interior, exterior, flat, semi-gloss or glossy finish, among others. Avoid messing up your new home and spend a little bit more in getting the appropriate paint. Understanding paint applications and paint types is extremely important. This is where most people have trouble.

Although the pigment and solvents for both, interior and exterior paint are the same, the resin use to bind the pigment is slightly different and this is one of the key elements to the success of your paint job. Due to the exposure to the different weather conditions and regular sun exposure, exterior paints have to be highly durable with an exceptional resistance to peeling and chipping. There are many exterior paints that have an “oil” base and this is a complete no-no for the interior. On the other hand, using the appropriate interior paint will make your work a lot easier, it doesn’t have a strong odor as exterior paint and is formulated with additives that will make the process of cleaning them just a breeze. Make sure you have the right paint for the right areas and you will be more than ready to have your home looking impeccable.
