Misconception on paints

Misconception: All paints are basically the same, so buy the cheapest


Truth: Don’t fall for this one. All paints have the same types of ingredients, but the quality and performance of those ingredients vary significantly. Better-quality paints have better resins and more of them, so the paint adheres better and lasts longer. They have higher-quality pigments that cover better and are less likely to fade. And they have additives that help you brush them out faster and smoother. All in all, the ingredients in higher-quality paints cost more, and you won’t find them in the cheaper paints.
