How to Choose the Right Paint

Start with the job, not the brand.

1. Identify the surface

Wall, ceiling, metal, wood, concrete, tile or another substrate.

2. Identify exposure

Interior, exterior, wet area, terrace, high-traffic or chemically demanding environment.

3. Define the finish

Matt, sheen, gloss, decorative or clear finish as appropriate.

4. Check preparation

Primer, putty, cleaning, repair and moisture control may be part of the system.

5. Compare verified products

Use the manufacturer’s current information and then compare suitable products through our Product Finder.
