Types of Paint

When repainting a room, it’s always important to choose the right type of paint and primer for the job. After all, exterior spaces are quite different from interior rooms and the paint required to make these spaces look their best has different specifications. Therefore, it’s imperative that you pick the appropriate tools for the job. Additionally, various finishes can create varying end results as well.

Here at The Color Bloc in Detroit, MI, our paint specialists are here to help you find just what you’ve been seeking. We are always happy to offer helpful guidance and advice, whether you’re a full-time paint contractor or a first-time DIYer. Let’s take a closer look at some of our products and shine a light on a few pointers that you should know ahead of time.

Interior vs. Exterior Paint

As previously mentioned, interior and exterior spaces vastly differ from each other. The biggest differentiator is, of course, the environment. Outdoor spaces require highly durable paints, while interior spaces can be coated with paint that doesn’t require as much thickness of coat. So, it’s always important to consider the elements before making your final selections.

When thinking about the outside of your home, a high-quality exterior paint can work wonders in terms of long-lasting protection from the elements, style, and durability. Plus, if you are thinking about reselling your property, it can help increase the curb appeal of your residence as well, which could certainly be a selling point.

As for interior paint, one of the most important things to keep in mind is choosing the right finish for the job. Flat and matte finishes are great if you are looking for smooth appearances and depth of color, while semi-gloss and high-gloss options are ideal for spaces that experience higher amounts of moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Fortunately, our line of Benjamin Moore products covers each of these areas and more, so feel free to speak with one of our specialists about your specific goals this year.

Specialty Paint & Coatings

If you are looking to create a fun and memorable moment inside a room, specialty paints can help you achieve just that. Notable® Dry Erase Paint can easily transition a plain wall to a functioning dry erase board, which is great for both home offices and children’s playrooms. INSL-X® Chalkboard Paint, which is 100% acrylic, can also work wonders if you are thinking outside the box.

As you can see, our catalog extends far beyond traditional paint options. Other specialty coatings from Benjamin Moore, like the INSL-X® line, help protect and insulate your space from the elements and act as a barrier to protect buildings, decks, and other objects from a variety of impactors.

Paint Tools

Of course, before you even start your upcoming DIY project, you need to have the right set of supplies at the ready. This can include paintbrushes, paint rollers, trays, drop cloths, tape, and more. If you have any questions about what you need to complete the task at hand, we are always happy to help you find just what you need to get the job done.
