This Paint Trick Will Make CHEAP WHITE PAINT Cover + Hide As Well As The Most Expensive Brands!
There are a lot of white paint products on the market. Some are ready for use straight out of the can, and some need to be mixed with various tints and colorants.
To determine if a paint product needs to be mixed, just read the back or bottom of the label--there will often be a warning or notice. ("Base Paints," for instance, always need to be mixed with tints.)
For exterior repaint projects, Nick trusts Sherwin Williams Duration line--especially their "Super White" product, which has excellent coverage and hide qualities.
However, Duration is very expensive...often $80+ per gallon!
So, how can you get your basic, cheaper white paint products to function like a top-grade white paint? The key is adding a little more tint to the mixture, and in the white color/volume combination...
Nick recommends this mixture:
2 oz. White Tint + 1/32 oz. Black Tint per 1 Gallon White Paint
This extra tint combination will make cheaper white paint cover and hide as well as more superior white paint products. The additional colorants increase opacity and tone in the paint formula, meaning you can often cut out extra coats!
Thanks for watching!
