Jeff didn’t sand down the trim on his house. Instead, he used a latex paint additive. Mike extended the open time (dry time) on his interior paint project. He used a latex paint additive. Jackson added abrasion protection to the paint in his high-traffic hallways and entryways. And, we bet you can guess what he did. He used a latex paint additive.

Each of these projects were aided and equipped with latex paint additives designed for specific paint enhancements.

Many painters know the benefits that paint additives can provide. They often use high-quality paint that come with pre-blended additives. But, stores usually ask premium prices for paints containing additives. What if there is a way to get the same professional-grade performance you are looking for without the premium price? It is possible by using paint additives that meet your project’s needs.
