About This Project

Whether you’re painting your home, a fence, or a deck, it’s easy to get caught up contemplating which type of exterior paint is best. The answer depends on your preferences—and it goes a lot further than simply choosing the best paint color in the prettiest finish. While that is important, it’s all (well, mostly) about the paint’s binder. All paints are made from three different substances: solvents, pigments, and binders.
