FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between oil-based and water-based paints?
Oil-based paints provide a durable finish and are suitable for high-traffic areas, while water-based paints dry faster and are easier to clean up.
How do I choose the right paint finish?
Consider the room's purpose; matte finishes are great for low-traffic areas, while glossy finishes work well in high-moisture or high-traffic areas.
What should I do if my paint is peeling?
Peeling paint often indicates poor adhesion or moisture issues. Remove the peeling areas, prepare the surface, and repaint with a suitable primer.
Can I use exterior paint indoors?
It's not recommended as exterior paint can contain harmful chemicals and has a different formulation than indoor paint.
