Best Non-Fading Exterior Paints
Paint fades when pigments that hold the color come in contact with a substance that breaks down that pigment such as light, ozone, or oxygen. While paint fades gradually after interior painting, exterior paints are more prone to faster color fading because of constant exposure to UV light and other factors that affect the quality and depth of the pigment. Faded exterior paint is aesthetically unappealing. It can make your home look like an eyesore, even if its construction and design are sound. And it’s important to remember that if your paint doesn’t look like new, it’s not performing as well as when it was first applied. This means fading paint is leaving your surfaces more vulnerable over time.
