Painting Compatibility
You know those romcoms or videos where a spunky girl or boy decides to paint away memories and changes the look of what was once a shared space? Well, it’s not as straightforward as going to a home depot and picking up cans of paint in colors that are the opposite of what was favored by TOTGA. Paint, after all, is chemistry just like relationships. Ergo, there is more to paint that requires understanding.
Make sure that the paint products you buy would match the particular surface you’re working on so that you avoid painting problems. To avoid such problems, read this post about paint compatibility.
