Whether you are a weekend DIY warrior, a professional painter, or contractor, you know that the quality of your paint job is only as good as the quality of paint and tools you use.

Read on to learn more about how to use exterior paint for a long-lasting outcome.

Choosing An Exterior Paint Finish

We offer Benjamin Moore exterior paint in various finishes, each with unique attributes and uses.

• Flat Finish is best for surfaces with an abundance of imperfections, such as for stucco or surfaces with imperfections, cracks, and dents. This finish is best for surfaces where you’ve had to use putty and plaster to camouflage damage. The flat sheen will not draw attention to the flaws and will offer a smooth appearance.
• Low Luster Finish is perfect for new or previously painted wood, hardboard siding, cured masonry, and unglazed brick.
• Satin Finish is best known for its subtle sheen that makes the colors more vivid, so it is perfect if you are painting the exterior of your home a non-traditional hue. It is also easy to clean and maintain.
• Soft Gloss Finish falls in between satin and gloss. Its best use is on exterior trim, doors, and shutters.
• Gloss Finish is shiny and reflective. It is the perfect finish for exterior doors, trim, and accents, mainly if you paint your front door a bright, vivid color for curb appeal.
