Painting & Decorating

What should people look for when choosing an interior paint? And what types of paints are best for home exterior surfaces?

For Interiors, Colormaker Industries advise that glossy finishes are typically more wash-resistant, but do show more surface imperfections. Flat finishes are great for hiding surface imperfections but are inherently more porous and therefore likely to stain more and be harder to clean.

Colormaker Industries advise that choosing the right paint for the job can have a massive impact on the reultt. For interiors for example, you’d choose a satin or gloss [oil or water-based] enamel for architraves and window frames as these paints are typically stronger and stand up to more wear and tear from kicks/abrasion etc.
