How to Choose the Right Paint

Ace Paints                                                     

You've probably heard the old cliché that if you want something done right, do it yourself. Over 20 years ago, Ace Hardware began to manufacture its own paint to ensure that our customers receive the highest quality paint. We're certain your experience with Ace Paint will be excellent whether it's the first time you use Ace Paint or the 100th.

 

Selecting a Finish                                          

When choosing a sheen (paint finish) consider the project. Selecting a sheen for the walls varies depending on the room. Use the chart below to determine which sheen is the best for your project.

Sheen Descriptions

Flat - A soft matte looking finish that's extremely forgiving, minimizing surface imperfections and offering ease of touch up.

Eggshell- A versatile finish that appears flat when viewed directly and slightly lustrous when viewed on an angle.

Satin- A luxurious pearl-like finish that's as durable as it is beautiful.

Semi-Gloss- A moderately shiny finish offering protection that lasts.

High Gloss- A highly polished, shiny looking finish for maximum durability.
