  1. Finding the Right Paint for Your Surface Painting would be much easier if any can of paint that you picked up at the store could be used in every situation. However, this is not the case. Different surfaces within your home will each require a different type of paint in order for the application to properly stick to the surface. If you do your research ahead of time, you will be thanking yourself when you don't have to worry about another project sooner than you expected due to yellowing, cracking or discoloration. Here is a rundown of the various components of your home and the type of paint they require. Ceilings. You should go with a specially laminate flooring atlanta formulated flat ceiling paint that can be rolled on to your ceilings. Irregularities and noticeable marks can be easily hidden thanks to the flat finish. This type of paint should not yellow over time. Woodwork. If you are working with bare wood, you should always prime it first. After the wood is primed, use latex or oil/alkyd paint. Semi-gloss finishes are typically the easiest to clean, but if you aren't too worried about wear and tear, flat or satin finishes can also work as well. Walls. The type of paint that you use for your walls ultimately comes down to personal preference. However, latex paint is easy to work with and can be used on drywall, wood or masonry. Metal. Latex or oil/alkyd paint works best on metal, though there are some differences between the two types of paint. Latex can be applied directly on aluminum or galvanized metal; however, when using oil/alkyd paint, metals need to be properly primed first. Masonry. Acrylic latex wall paint is made specifically for masonry surfaces such as cement, concrete block, and brick surfaces. It fully covers these surfaces to create a uniform look and will hold up well over time.

  2. Floors. You should research paint made specifically for your type of flooring; however, you will typically need an enamel based product. This will defend your paint and the floor against abrasion, traffic, and scrubbing. Every part of your home has different needs and requires a different form of attention. After all, you do not maintain your wood floors in the same way that you take care of your carpet. The same applies for the surfaces you paint. Following these guidelines will help you to create the best possible appearance for your home.
