Selecting Exterior Paint for the Victorian's Exterior Video

Ron Boyajian talks to Bob about the Fres-Coat, Velvet Flat, 100 percent acrylic paint from California Paints of Andover, Massachusetts. This paint has a high permeability rating so that moisture can pass through the paint rather than causing it to bubble or peel. The choice to use a flat exterior paint helps hide any imperfections from scraping and sanding. It is also a quick-drying water-based latex paint. Painters can often apply a second coat in the same day, speeding up the process and saving on labor time.
