When doing exterior or interior industrial painting, one of the most important decisions is the quality of paint to be used. According to the Paint Quality Institute, a leading authority on paint performance, TOP QUALITY paints are designed to produce the best-looking and longest-lasting results. And even though quality paints may cost a little more, they can last more than twice as long as ordinary paints — so they are really more economical in the long run. Here are some of the specific benefits of using top quality paints, compared with using an “economy” paint:

Benefits of a top quality exterior paint

  • Superior adhesion, less likely to blister, flake or peel
  • Better chalk resistance, for excellent color retention
  • Better dirt resistance, so the paint remains fresh-looking
  • Better mildew resistance, so paint won't be marred by unsightly black or brown blotches
  • Better corrosion resistance for long-lasting protection of assets
  • Overall superior durability
  • Goes on smoothly and evenly, without showing brush or roller marks
  • Minimal spattering during application
  • More hiding power, so it will require less touch-up and, possibly, fewer coats
  • Less tendency to "block," so freshly painted surfaces, such as windows and doors, won't stick to one another
  • Better resistance to dirt and stains, which facilitates cleaning and maintenance
