Not all paints are created equal... and you should know what you're getting when you invest your hard-earned cash.

The ingredients in paints can significantly impact quality and price - and that's why you're likely better off skipping the temptation to purchase the cheap stuff. If quality finish, color and durability matter, a premium paint is the long-term value over budget competitors.

Lower-cost paints frequently contain fillers like clay and calcium carbonate, neither of which adhere exceptionally well to surfaces. Cheap paints also contain a lot of water, which means a faster evaporation rate and more coats to achieve your desired coverage.

In contrast, premium paints typically don't contain any fillers and may even contain high-quality resins that lend themselves to a longer lifespan. They take longer to dry but provide better coverage, thanks to the higher concentration of pigment, with fewer coats.

Cheap paints can cost a lot when you factor in extra labor, less longevity and lower-quality results - and the same goes for your painting contractor.
