Occasionally, the finish of the paint will affect the price, by a few dollars. This may depend on the amount of solids per volume and the amount of coverage you provide. Quality home paints will necessarily cost more than low-quality paints because they contain more important ingredients and fewer fillers. The difference in the final product can be seen in the smoothness of the finish, the consistency of the color and the long-term resistance of the coating.
Let's examine the ingredients of a typical household paint. A phrase we hear a lot in life is that you get what you pay for, and this is especially true when it comes to paint, wallpaper and decoration materials. Most often, paints are made at a reasonable price. The cheapest paints are made with lower quality ingredients, more fillers, fewer pigments and less titanium dioxide, which is the ingredient in paints that gives them hiding power.
Cheaper paints will have less quantity than this amount and, therefore, will not cover as well or last as long as a more expensive commercial or design paint. The higher that number, the more durable the paint will be, the thicker it will be applied, and the more coverage it will provide. While painters may struggle to use low-quality paint, as the dispersion rate is low and the time to reapply the coat is lengthy, homeowners may also struggle. That's why Benjamin Moore created Gennex, an innovative color technology tool that removes these chemicals that weaken paint and create water-based dyes.
The hidden secret of high-quality paint is that it saves money in the long run, for two main reasons. Benjamin Moore paints created with Gennex color technology maintain their durability while maintaining a rich and precise pigment. We deal with many customers who have brought cheap paints and who request advice when those products do not meet customer expectations for a variety of reasons. With cheap paint, the pigments are lower quality and larger (this means you can apply two coats of paint to the wall instead of just one).This is what keeps the paint liquid while it's in the can and then evaporates as the paint dries on the wall.
When using an airless sprayer, you should dilute the paint (add water to paint with latex) so that it flows easily through the sprayer. Intense pigments give design paints more life, react differently to different lights and change over days and seasons. Customers usually return to the store with photos of their paintings, so, satisfied with the result, they will not buy cheaper paints again.
