Coat Paints And You

By Bill Hughes


One of the most important things you can do to improve the overall look of your home is to have it repainted. You may be surprised just how beautiful it is when a house is given a brand new fresh coat of paint. It would be a good idea to have your paint retouched every three years or so. Read on and learn about coat paints.

Primary coat is the primer. Priming is important so that the surface is all smooth and ready for the paint. Applying primer will also ensure that moisture will be kept out of the paint to avoid bubbling or cracking. Primers also help in maintaining the integrity of both the surface and the paint itself. Primers can be considered as paint, but the overall function is not to beautify the surface. They are utilized to ensure that the paint will really stick to the surface.

Second, we have the painting itself. The look of the paint will be dependent on the quality of the paint and the quantity of paint applied as well. When you apply a layer that's too thin the wall will look anemic. A too thick coating will provide uneven surfaces, which will tend to have bubbles forming on the surface. It is important to make sure that the coat is just right. It is recommended that you just paint the wall enough to cover the primer for the first coat. And then apply additional coats of paint as necessary.

Number three, we have the glossing. Glossing is making sure that the finish of the paint is smooth. What they do is to apply a layer of clear paint on the wall. This will also ensure that the colors is also made better. Usually, a single layer of gloss is good enough. The wall itself will be too bright that it will divert attention from it.

You have just read the various coat layers when it comes to painting your house. These coats are applied to make sure that the paint looks good to improve the overall look of the house. It will also help in making sure that the exterior will be maintained in terms of weathering the elements for a long time.
