Are expensive paint brands better than budget paint brands?

• <div><p>In some cases, expensive, premium paint brands are better than their budget paint brand competitors, but that isn’t always the case. BEHR® and PPG Paint® companies are moderately priced and still offer great coverage and durability. What’s more, each paint brand offers a variety of paint lines—each with its own pros and cons.</p></div>

What is the most common barn color?

• <div><p>Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint should I use to paint my barn?

• <div><p>The best kind of paint for barns is latex paint because it&rsquo;s less likely to fade, lasts for a decade, and is flexible. You can also use latex exterior paint mixed with linseed oil in your primer to make it extra durable. </p></div>

Q: What magnetic paint colors can you get?

• <div><p>Magnetic paint is only available in dark gray or black because of the iron dust particles mixed through it. If your heart is set on a less-gloomy shade, add a top coat or two of other latex or chalkboard paint. But adding more than two top coats will degrade the magnetic properties. Dark top coats work better than light shades, as the black or gray magnetic paint is less likely to peek through.</p></div>

Q: How long should I wait between coats?

• <div><p>When applying multiple coats, wait<b> four to six hours</b> for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.</p></div>
