One major difference between indoor and outdoor paint in the home is the outdoor area there is more surface area that needs to be well considered. These surfaces include boards with wall or aluminum, wooden structure, brick wall , brick, cement, and of course the old paint. In many older homes, you can find the combination of these surfaces. Fortunately, there are paints for any kind of surface, and there are also some types of paint that is suitable for a variety of surfaces. Like interior paint, exterior paint is also available in a mixed type of water or a mixture of solvents (paint thinner) and three models of the final results: standard, semigloss and gloss. However, there are some distinguishing characteristics between the exterior and interior house paints. One of them, the exterior paint is more expensive. It also contains more resin (to retain water and increase resistance to weather) and more pigment (color).
You can choose the paint based on the type of paint used previously. Such as interior paint, latex is very good if used over latex paint and so also with alkyd. If you are unsure about the type of paint in your home, use paint alkyd.
Cat latex is easier to use, dries quickly and can help minimize moisture problems because it has pores as air circulation , Enough to clean with soap and water. Paints of this type do not match the oilbase paint, alkyd or uneven surfaces. Alkyd, on the other hand is very durable, but it should be more difficult and take longer to dry. Alkyd paints also requires solvents to clean the brushes, rollers, paint and place unwanted droplets.
One type of exterior alkyd paint has the advantages of easy to set up and cleaned. For several years, slowly oxidize the paint surface. Every time it rains can erode the capacity of the paint along with the dirt. Because this water flows as if the painted surface keeps renewing itself. But the risk will be no residual lime on objects at the bottom, but the latest formula able to control these residues so it does not stain the adjacent surfaces. Cat type is not recommended for any home. In areas with little rainfall, eg the paint is certainly not optimal.
