Don’t run to your local hardware store to buy paint for that latest project you just had planned. Technological advances and research have led to the development of many new types of paints. Yes, in addition to all the types of paints that you usually see in the hardware store, there are also new products. Imagine being able to write (and erase) directly on a painted wall with a dry erase marker. Think about how much time you could save on your next restoration project if you didn’t have to scrape off all the flaking paint before applying a new paint color. Imagine being able to paint designs on glass and then remove it and use it for other decorative purposes. Although these all seem crazy, they are becoming a reality thanks to recent innovations.
With Rust-Oleum Dry Erase Paint, you can turn almost any surface into a dry erase board. The paint is easy to apply: simply mix two different ingredients and use a foam roller to apply it to the desired surface. Once it’s dry and ready to use, you can write to-do lists, doodle, provide a safe place for kids to draw on the wall, and more. All you need is a little soap and water to return your wall or item to a clean, white, easy-to-clean surface.
Many people prefer the look of flat paint over the shinier, semi-gloss paint. However, because it is so difficult to clean, it is generally not recommended to use matte paint in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where the walls are more likely to stain. Sherwin Williams is changing that with its Emerald and Duration acrylic latex home paints. Even if you choose a flat surface, these two lines of paint are easy to clean up. Both paints also contain mildew inhibitors, which keep your walls clean in the first place.
If you’re planning on repainting one or more rooms in your home, one of the most challenging parts can be painting the ceiling. When you apply new white paint over old white paint, it can be difficult to make sure you don’t miss any spots. Glidden’s EZ Track Ceiling Paint is designed to eliminate this problem. It is pink in color so you can easily make sure you cover the entire ceiling, but dry white is perfect for the ceiling.
Next time you’re shopping for paint for a DIY project, consider purchasing a can of Harmony paint from Sherwin-Williams. It is designed with special technology to minimize odors from pets, smoke, cooking and other organic causes, keeping rooms smelling fresh. for example, peeling and smoothing can also reduce formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds that can be emitted by carpets, fabrics and other elements in your home. These features allow Harmony paint to improve overall indoor air quality.
Spray painting comes in handy in many DIY projects, such as repainting metal furniture to give it new life. However, if you’re working on a large project, you’ll often end up blowing up a few cans. Painter’s Touch 2X Ultra Cover Paint & Primer from Rust-Oleum is designed to solve this common problem. Each can of spray paint provides twice the coverage of other standard cans.
If you’re painting old wood, one of the tasks that can take up a lot of your time is sanding down the old peeling paint. Zinsser’s Peel Stop Triple Thick Tall Construction Bonding Primer forms a bond to old cracked or flaking surfaces, holding them to the surface being painted. Using this primer can save a lot of time on your next furniture restoration or painting project by helping them stick to the wood and filling in any gaps around old peeling paint.
Solar paint isn’t very popular yet, but it’s a new invention on the horizon. This particular type of paint incorporates solar cells into the liquid paint, allowing it to generate electricity. Researchers are working to improve several different types of solar coatings in the hope that one or more of these innovations will soon help reduce our impact on the environment, making homes more efficient and even allowing vehicles to benefit from solar energy.
