THE MAIN TYPES OF ACRYLIC PAINTS AND SELECTION TIPS.
Acrylic paint is a water-dispersed paint that is based on polyacrylates and their copolymers, which are used to make films. Polyacrylates are polymers derived from acrylic, methacrylic, or cyan acrylic acid esters. This type of paint is the most often used since its technical features outperform those of other emulsion paints. Used to finish both the inside and outside of structures. Its key characteristic is that the water entirely evaporates after drying, leaving only a polymer coating.

HOW to Pick Paint Colors | WHEN to Paint | Interior Design (video)
Some repairs almost never require the use of paint. Many of us still like to paint the window slopes with matte white paint. This is not surprising given that this material has numerous advantages and, for a reasonable cost, provides you with an endless color palette, allowing you to create a vibrant and rich interior without the use of additional finishing processes. The paint is not only different in color, but also in composition. If oil paints were popular in the past, acrylic paints have since taken their place. We learn how to make the appropriate choice and paint walls, ceilings, and floors with acrylic paint.
Advantages and disadvantages of acrylic paint.
Acrylic paint has long been regarded as a universal finishing medium, and it is successfully used by modern designers in the decoration of buildings. Of course, for many, the decision between painting and wallpapering remains intractable. We will examine the benefits and cons in further detail so that you may reach an unambiguous conclusion.
Of course, it is vital to note the availability of this material, which is critical when dealing with huge areas and scales.
Economy. On average, one standard-size (1 liter) can of paint is adequate to cover an area of roughly 7-11 sqm in one layer. You can skip the second coat with good surface preparation and the use of high-quality paint. The absorbency of the surface to be coated will be crucial. I urge that she cover her ground in order to reduce her intake.
It dries quickly. One layer of paint dries completely in 1.5-2 hours on average, allowing for quick application of the second layer, considerably reducing processing time.
Coverage that is simple to utilize. Even someone who has never handled a roller in his hands can paint the walls after reading the instructions on the packaging or watching a few YouTube videos.
Moisture proofing allows for significant cost savings in bathroom décor. Accept that purchasing a few cans of high-quality paint is less expensive than covering the walls with tiles and installing a plastic ceiling. By the way, and the end dates have been greatly decreased.
strong stability to extreme temperature variations. Heat resistance was observed in the temperature range of -30 ° C to + 30 ° C.
Product with great environmental friendliness, allowing it to be used in residential buildings without posing any health problems.
A well-placed coating can last 10 to 12 years before losing its cosmetic and technical properties.
With adequate surface preparation, the coating will be smooth and robust while remaining breathable. This is a critical indication that contributes to the maintenance of a suitable indoor climate and has a good impact on human health.
After completely drying, some acrylic compounds generate a washable layer that is not scared of wet washing or local pollution cleaning. So, you don’t have to repaint the entire wall because of a single blemish. You can always color it softly if you can’t get it out. As wallpaper has stated, such a number will not work.
Unlike wallpaper, completely painted walls do not pique the interest of pets. Cats who enjoy sharpening their claws on a soft paper covering, in particular.
Incredible color pallet that allows you to mix colors, produce smooth transitions, and paint freely. Please keep in mind that colors from different manufacturers may appear drastically different from your perspective. Because of these variances, there are a plethora of various colors. If you cannot locate the desired color from any source, you may always purchase white paint and tint color and mix it yourself in the desired proportions. To produce the greatest results, use paints from the same brand, especially when creating color gradients.
The paint simply has no equal when it comes to completing curved surfaces, such as arches or drywall recesses with complicated designs of inside shelves. Consider how time-consuming it is to cut innumerable pieces of wallpaper or other materials; make sure to take exact measurements to account for all of these bends. It is extremely difficult to complete this work correctly the first time, and gaps cannot be avoided. Then something must be used to cover them up. Whether it’s paint or not! Simply add a layer of putty and get to work. The ultimate product will be no less appealing, but far more accurate.
As you can see, there are numerous undeniable beneficial elements. But, of course, acrylic has flaws.
The important thing is complete surface preparation, which is required if you do not want the paint to reveal all of the flaws in your walls or ceilings. Although many other types of finishes have similarly stringent criteria, this is a highly contentious issue.
Approach the color composition selection with care. It is about the finished coating’s conformity with the characteristics of the room in which it will be employed.
Incorrect painting tool selection, such as using brushes with strong bristles, can result in obvious streaks and gaps. Using foam rollers, this is easily prevented.
It is immediately important to purchase sufficient paint to cover the entire area. Then it’s nearly impossible to manufacture or choose the exact same color.
This is not to argue that the errors are not serious, because the majority of them are dependent only on your abilities. That is most likely why an increasing number of individuals love this form of decoration both indoors and outside.
CHARACTERISTICS OF WALL PAINTING
One of the most critical processes, as previously said, is surface preparation and achieving the ideal state. First and foremost, the previous covering must be removed. This is especially true for small, firmly connected pieces of wallpaper. They must be well wet before being removed with a spatula. Now, using a spatula or special grout nets, go over the entire surface to ensure that nothing is left over. After thoroughly cleaning the wall. After it has dried, it is vital to inspect the surface for straightness and the presence of faults. If there are any, they will require putty to level and a leveling coat to be applied over the entire surface prior.
After the putty has been cured, clean well and prime once more to remove dust.
If your wall is now totally smooth, apply a layer of finishing putty to it, and once it has dried thoroughly polished, go back into the base coat and begin painting again. If you are not satisfied with the outcome, reapply the putty to the problem areas and continue the process until the desired result is obtained. Some experts propose pasting a layer of fiberglass before applying the finishing putty for reinforcement basics. This is not an essential equipment, but it will only help if you wish to reinforce more walls. You will need a flat brush, a small roller, and a slide for pouring liquid to apply the paint yourself.
