PAINTING HINTS

[ SAMPLE TEXT ONLY - from Valspar.com ]

Here are some helpful hints for painting your home.

How to prevent and resolve the following problems:

Paint Coverage

Coverage of a paint film can be affected by several factors, including surface, application and color. Textured or porous surfaces usually require more paint to achieve a solid, uniform appearance. Darker colors can be more problematic at times and can require more than one coat of paint.

Dry Time

There are several conditions that can effect dry time as solvents leave the surface and polymers cure.

Exterior Paint Peeling

Exterior paint peeling is seen when a dry paint film loses adhesion with the underlying finish or substrate. It can be localized or widespread, random or repetitive. Substrate condition and preparation are essential for the coating to develop a strong adhesive bond to the surface.

Interior Paint Peeling

Interior peeling is seen when a dry paint film loses adhesion to the underlying coating or substrate. It can be localized or widespread, with surface conditions typically contributing to the problem. Peeling is not a characteristic of paint.

Odor Buildup

It is normal for paints to have an odor. Odor comes from the liquid portion of paint and will evaporate as the paint dries and cures.
