To dpb et al From OP: Surface Prep.?, & Prev. post On Benjamin Moore Kitchen & Bath Paint
Hello:
Much thanks for opinion on the paint; appreciate it, and feel a lot better about using it. Could you please offer me some suggestions re "the most important thing in a paint job is preparation--the best/most expensive paint in the world won't last if it goes on a poorly prepared surface" What should I do, specifically: It's going over an old existing latex (I think) paint job. Should I roughen the surface first ? Wash it with something first (what) ? etc. Thanks again, Bob ----------------------------------------------- I guess I'm dating myself here, but I always thought that Latex paints were Always a poor choice for an area that sees "some" moisture. That the only way to go was to use an oil based paint. Are these new Latex paints, like this one, really that much better, and suitable for, e.g., a bathroom ? ,,, To quote another --"This ain't your father's Oldsmobile"... Short answer--"yes". Current latex enamels are quite good and while I haven't used this particular BM product, I would have no qualms. Of course, as often noted (and often ignored), the most important thing in a paint job is preparation--the best/most expensive paint in the world won't last if it goes on a poorly prepared surface.
