How to Choose the Best Paint Colors and Quality

​Painting is a popular D-I-Y because few home improvement endeavors rival the impact of a fresh coat of paint for the price. On the other hand a botched job can bring tears. Most people can handle the job on their own, if they correctly prep, use the right tools and the right products.

Paints, like many products, have evolved through the years. We now have access to a large range of colors and paints that are made for specific applications.

Don’t be influenced by the trending colors or the colors of the year. When picking a color go with a color you’re sure to love for years to come. Bring in fabrics, flooring or other items to help you find the perfect color to match or coordinate.

Never buy more paint than you need, consider investing in quality paint. It will cover better, and in the long run, it can save money by creating a more satisfactory finish and require less coats.

Buy the best applicator you can afford. Buy small samples of several colors, you can test these colors on your walls or poster board in different light. Seeing those samples in different times of day will help you decide which color you like best.
