Latex Gloss Paints That Really Shine

Latex Gloss Paints That Really Shine

So you want to paint your trim or doors with a glossy, smooth finish that dries quickly and cleans like an enamel?

Used to be only one way to get that kind of "depth-of-image" look – but it took overnight to dry.. You had to buy an oil or alkyd gloss paint and resign yourself to the strong odor and messy solvent cleanup. You also had to think about repainting fairly often because they yellowed and lost their gloss as they aged.

Well, not any more! Today, your paint professional can sell you a high quality, gloss acrylic latex paint that closely matches the best solvent products on the market. The high-gloss latex paints produce shiny, hard films that look great, hold up well, don't stain, and are easy to clean. In addition, the new high-gloss latex paints won't soften when they are exposed to oily materials like butter and hand cream.

Painted windowsill Of course, luster and performance are not all you get with a high-gloss latex paint. You also get the easy handling and soap-and-water cleanup that characterize all waterborne paints.
Ask the Paint Professional at the local paint store, hardware store, or home center for information on their line of top quality high-gloss acrylic latex paints.
