Why Some Paint is More Expensive Then Others (and Worth It)
So, just what’s the difference between that $25 gallon and a seemingly identical $58 gallon next to it on the shelf? As you may have guessed, the bargain paint is diluted with more solvents (liquids) and contains larger particles of pigment. Better quality paint will be more concentrated with finer pigments and higher grade resins, so the final product will have more even color and a more durable finish.
California Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Information
The California’s South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is seeking to make a number of drastic changes to Rule 1113, including: reducing the VOC limits for flats, nonflats, and primers (down to 25 grams/liter); limiting the sale/use of architectural coatings sold in one liter containers or smaller; and imposing control efficiency requirements on spray equipment. In addition, it is likely that SCAQMD will make include changes for Building Envelope Coatings, Architectural Mold Release Agents, Wood Finishes, Reactive Penetrating Sealers, and Faux Finish Glazes. These changes will likely be adopted in 2015 or 2016 and become effective in 2019 and will increase the costs for paint.
