Paints and coatings provide beautiful topcoats, durable surfaces, innovative applications, green benefits and cost savings. They are highly engineered, specialized products that can be formed into many shapes and angles for diverse applications. But, not all paints and coatings are created equal. With a wide variety available, we assembled a paint and coating guide listing descriptions and attributes of nine of the most common. Careful consideration of these factors before choosing can assist with installation and help determine the best product for projects.
