Painting is one of those home projects that generates the greatest excitement; a project in which the entire family often participates, whether in selecting colors, purchasing the product, painting or enjoying the long-awaited result. But it is also a project that represents a sacrifice and a considerable investment of our time and money, so the expectation that the expected result will be achieved and be lasting is high.

Selecting paint from the many product offerings on the market can be a complex process. On many occasions the decision of the product we buy is not necessarily rational, but we select the paint based on the recognition of the brand or the perception of quality that we have, the offer available in the establishment we go to, the seller's recommendation in the store or the one who is going to paint. However, none of these considerations guarantee that we will make the right choice. My goal in this article is to share some tips so that you can make the best selection of products when painting.

1. The first thing you should ask yourself is where are you going to paint? First determine what interior and exterior surfaces you are going to paint, and quantify the area separately.
2. Eliminate the idea of ​​using the same product for everything; Different surfaces, presenting different conditions, will require the use of more than one product.
3. When painting indoors, give greater importance to smell and health. Use low-odor formulations with zero or low content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), especially when it comes to children's rooms, the elderly, or the rooms of people with respiratory problems. For interiors, I recommend our Enco Primeless Zero 2-in-1 paint, a 100 percent acrylic paint and "primer" in one, which provides excellent coverage, while being low odor and VOC-free. It is available in matte, eggshell or semi-glossy finish.
4. A practical tip regarding coverage and color selection; Colors can be classified from lighter shades, which we call pastels, to brighter or brighter shades, which we call accents. The brighter or brighter the color you select, the more dye will be required to achieve the color you are looking for when preparing the paint at the store. Now, the greater the amount of colorant, the less amount of titanium dioxide, the main ingredient that provides coverage in the paint. Therefore, keep in mind that if you choose a light or pastel color, it is very possible that you will achieve the result in 1 to 2 coats of paint, while if you choose a bright color in the accent range, it will require 2 to 3 coats of paint to achieve the result. This is true for all brands of paint and now you know why that red wall takes several coats of paint before achieving the color.
5. The soffit or lower part of the ceiling should always be painted with a matte paint, which allows the ceiling to breathe any moisture present in it. The worst choice for a ceiling is to paint it with semi-gloss paint or hydrophobic elastomeric paint, as these will encapsulate the moisture present in the ceiling causing it to pocket.
6. Walls with moisture problems should be painted with a hydrophobic elastomeric paint, such as Enco Primeless Resist 3 in 1. Resist 3 in 1, which is a sealer, primer and paint in one, has a 20-year limited warranty and It is proven to withstand up to 12 psi of water pressure in laboratory tests. Resist 3 in 1 is also ideal for use on walls in humid geographical areas to prevent fungal growth, and is available in matte and semi-gloss finishes.
7. When painting outdoors, the most important thing is to select a product with a 100 percent acrylic formulation. This will give you the greatest protection and durability against ultraviolet rays, which cause fading, cracking and peeling. The original Enco Primeless 2 in 1 paint is 100 percent acrylic paint and "primer" in one, of ultra-premium quality that also has exceptional coverage. Primeless 2 in 1 is available in matte, satin and semi-gloss finishes.

As you have seen, different surfaces can present different conditions that require the use of more than one product when painting. The next time you go to paint you already know what considerations to keep in mind to choose the right products. Enco's Primeless Zero 2 in 1, Primeless Resist 3 in 1 and Primeless 2 in 1 series of paints, more than just paints, represent a system of painting solutions that is within your reach and has all the quality support of Enco.
