The Right Finishing Paint


            It is bad enough that choosing the perfect color for your home takes quite a bit of time, but when you get out to the check out counter you also have to choose the type of finish you want. If you know what your plans are then this choice can be pretty simple, but if you're unsure about the types of paints then it might make your job even more frustrating.

            When you choose a paint for your home you will usually be picking between oil and water based paints. To begin with, oil based paints are typically used on wooden furniture, floors and the finished areas of the home like doors, window frames and base boards. Oil paints tend to be a bit more resilient and provide people with a beautiful glossy coat that really shows off the color. This being said, oils are rarely used these days.

            Water based paints tend to be the most popular choice because there are so many options. You can choose between matte, glossy, silky, satin, semi-glass and eggshell. Despite all the fantastic choices water based paints are also very durable and more times that not they won't end up cracking on your walls. These paints are better for the environment too and are very easy to clean up with some water if your make a mistake. Generally, water based paints keep their colors for longer and dry very quickly when you apply them which makes them perfect for an afternoon paint job.


            Painting your home doesn't have to be the cause of a lot of frustration. If you know what you want to do with your paint job then choosing the right paint can be so much easier than choosing the right color. Generally, if you want to paint your wall stick with water based matte as it will give you the classic look without the headache of choosing.
