PAINT FOR INTERIOR WALL

Interior walls show inner décor of the  home.The effects of wall colors miraculously realize your character and your home as well. Interior wall painting adds to the charm of your  home. Generally we have different types of paint for both interior and exterior wall which differs according to their necessity.

Some of them are -

• Latex/Water Based Paints: These paints do not  fade away easily, less likely to crack or peel and have fewer odours. Moreover, latex paints are fast-drying and require only water for thinning and clean up.

  

• Oil-Based Paints: These paints are better choice for interior walls as they are extremely durable. Oil-based paints are slow-drying and require mineral spirits for thinning and clean up. The only drawback of these paints is that they have strong odour.  

• Vinyl-Acrylic Latex Paints: They are the least expensive and suitable for most interior walls as they have durable color and better adhesion. 

• Enamels: It is a type of oil based paint with better adhesion qualities. It is reasonably durable and stain resistant. It provides softness and cheerfulness to the surface. It has better gloss than vinyl-acrylics.

     

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO REPAINT ALREADY PAINTED WALLS?

If you're painting over a wall with a paint that is close to the previous color, then in general, you don't need to prime existing paint. To prepare for repainting:

• 1.Wash the wall to remove any grease.
• 2.Fill any holes and cracks with suitable filler, perhaps using flexible filler for cracks.
• 3.Sand and prime the filled areas—priming will seal the filler and keep it in place. You might want to sand and reprime the whole wall to avoid a patchy look.
• 4.Repaint the wall with at least two coats of your new color. If you're painting over a dark color with a lighter one, you might need more than two coats to stop the previous color from showing through. If that's the case, using a primer or basic white matte emulsion for the first coat (or two if it's really dark) is a more cost-effective option than using the more expensive colored paint for all the coats. Unfortunately, you don't always discover that in time.
• 5.Finally, paint in full daylight—especially for the final coat—so you can see where you've been.
