It's often said that 70 percent of a good paint job is in the preparation. The remaining 30 percent comprises the quality of your paint and the paint's application. You might know about sanding and good preparation, and brushes and rollers and good application, but do you know how to pick a paint that will last, that looks really good and goes on really fast? It's all in the price. The best paints cost more because they have more of the best ingredients. That's why more expensive quality paints go on easier, cover better and last longer. With paint, you do get what you pay for, and bargain brands with lots of fillers, like clay, provide poor coverage. And low abrasion-resistance can actually cost more in the long run because you have to repaint more often. Remember, better quality paints cost more because they have better quality ingredients.
