Wall Paint
Nothing adds new life to walls like a new coat of paint. Paint can instantly makeover a drab room or cover over nicks and scratches. Paint is a mixture of spreadable liquid and powder pigment. Some paints also have solvents added to make the paint thinner and easier to spread. Paints are classified by the liquids their made with. For example oil-based paints contain oil as their bonding agent so they are super glossy. Oil-based paints are thick and often used on exterior surfaces to provide a protective barrier against the elements. Latex paints are water-based so they aren't as glossy. They are most used on indoor walls because they spread easily and splatters can be cleaned up with soap and water. If you've painted over another color chances are that you've applied a primer first. Primers are resin-based so they coat uneven surfaces by filling holes and cracks in the wall to paint to be applied smoothly. Paints are categorized as glossy, semi-gloss or mate, depending on the amount of pigment in the paint - the more pigment, the flatter the paint.
