Many painters, even seasoned ones, don't understand the numerous options now available with better, newer paint additives. With improvements like enhanced paint flow and level, better dirt repellence, better abrasion resistance, and extended open time, paint additives are a valuable asset to any Rochester painter. Your paint looks better, lasts longer, and you don’t have to spend so much time on the paint project.

So you're standing at in the isle of your local big box hardware store, staring at a million various paints. You've already picked your paint colors. Now, you’re perplexed by all the choices in front of you. The fact is, there are many different paints, each with its own enrichment and distinct qualities. Usually, these additions aren't readily noticeable and can bring more confusion than help. Not to mention the high price tag.

That's why we (professional painters) like paint additives made explicitly for a single enhancement. They save you money and get the task completed.

Oil bond is a paint additive geared towards latex-based paints. It delivers a strong adhesion to coated or stained surfaces that would typically need to be sanded down before painting. With oil bond, there’s no sanding or sanding cleanup. This saves painting contractors a considerable amount of labor costs and time for a project.

From improved performance with a sprayer to tougher paint, paint additives bring a host of enrichment.

For exterior painting, including dirt-resistance can make structures remain clean longer than ever. For painters who want a fabulous look, paint additives extend open time, stopping paint from drying too fast.

There are many advantages you can enjoy with paint additives, such as:
•    Prolong paint open time
•    Enhances toughness and strength of the paint
•    Increase abrasion resistance
•    Enrich dirt resistance in the paint

Common Projects to Use Paint Additives
​

Kitchen Cabinets
Many painters use paint additives for cabinets because of the large amount of time required for sanding prep, labor, and cleanup. Paint directly on the cabinets without sanding.

Stained Wood
Whether it is in-set living room cabinets or a table, painting over stained wood is much easier with paint additives.

High-Traffic Areas
For high-traffic areas that get lots of abuse, paint additives are a great choice. They enrich the sturdiness of the paint, improving abrasion resistance. Your painted surfaces last longer and look better.​
