There are many reasons why you should paint furniture with latex paint, also known as water-based paint.
11 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD PAINT FURNITURE WITH LATEX PAINT
1. AVAILABILITY
Latex paint is readily available at hardware stores, home improvement stores, department stores, paint stores, etc. It can also be ordered online.
2. PRICE
Price is probably tied with availability for the number one reason I use latex paint. Let’s face it, most of the furniture paints are a little on the pricey side. Latex paint is a fraction of the cost of these paints.
3. COLOR SELECTION
There are endless displays of paint color chips in the stores. You can get your own paint deck from the manufacturer for a price. There are thousands and thousands of paint colors to choose from.
4. SHEENS
Latex paint comes in a variety of sheens. The following sheens are usually available from the paint manufacturer; Matte/Flat, Eggshell, Satin, Semi-Gloss, Gloss, and Hi-Gloss.
5. ALL IN ONE PRODUCT
Paint & Primer and sometimes sealer (if needed) combination paint is the norm. For most projects, there is no need to buy an additional primer product.
