Tip of the Month

POOR STAIN RESISTANCE

POSSIBLE CAUSES:

• Use of lower quality paint that is porous in nature
• Application of paint to unprimed substrate.
  

SOLUTION:

Higher quality latex paints contain more binder, which helps prevent stains from penetrating the painted surface, allowing for ease removal. Priming new surfaces provides maximum film thickness of a premium top coat, providing very good stain removability.
