What is a specialty paint?
Specialty paints include any type of paint not commonly used to paint walls or other surfaces. This can include chalkboard, enamel, melamine, and countertop paint, as well as decorative topcoat paints.
When might I need to use specialty paints?
For any project where normal paints won't work, if you're looking for a unique finish, or painting surfaces other than wood or drywall, specialty paints are what you'll need. To paint high heat surfaces like fireplaces, barbecues, or stoves, you'll need heat resistant enamel paint.
What are some creative uses for specialty paint?
Chalkboard paint lets you create an erasable chalkboard surface on any wall, which is unique and lets people get creative. A chalkboard wall is a great addition to a child's bedroom or playroom. Painted chalkboards can also be used instead of a whiteboard in the kitchen, or to leave messages in the entryway of a home.
