Right Paint Selection
First a paint that suits the surface should be selected. If any auxiliary material is needed, this should also be in line with the application surface and the paint. Quality products should be preferred when buying paints. Cheap and low quality ones will cost the same per square meter. A choice made just for a little gain may lead to huge losses in the future. The market has paints, primers and thinners of every quality. However, it is recommended to use the right paint, primer and thinner for the surface to get the best results.
When buying a paint, it should be checked if the product conforms to TSE standards and the manufacturer has ISO 9000 certificate.
Whether the color to be used on interior or exterior surfaces go well with the space should be tested with a applying on a small surface.
