Characteristics Of An Ideal Paint
Painting your house makes it new, increases its aesthetics in the house, and makes it beautiful and elegant.

It can be expensive and a tiring task and so one needs to carefully find out the paint and compare its characteristics to that of an ideal paint. It should be looked at in three steps before, during, and after application of the paint.
Its wearability
An ideal paint should be resistant to wear and tear in the environment. It should withstand tough environmental conditions like rain and heat. It should stay for a long time and not fade or change its color over its intended life. It should form a durable, tough film on drying and should not crack on drying.
Its Spreading Power
An ideal paint should give a uniform and smooth appearance that should show any traces of paintbrush. It should have the capacity to cover maximum area with minimum quantity. This would enhance the appearance and aesthetics of a particular painted place.
It should be environmentally friendly
An ideal paint should be environmentally meaning that paints should be water-based and not have any plasticizers as their solvents. A paint that is eco-friendly is one that has low VOC. Paints can be a major source of indoor air pollution. Paint companies should make sure their paints are environmentally friendly.
Its ease of cleaning
Good paint is one that when a painted part is needed to be cleaned, the paint can be removed easily. The paint needs only to cover its surface and should not react chemically with the materials. As Kate Lester said, the higher the gloss, the greater the durability and glossier the paint, the more likely it is to show dirt. The key to choosing the right path is knowing its cleanability. The low VOC on paints prevents stains from penetrating the wall and can simply be wiped clean.
It's aesthetic
An ideal paint should provide a comfortable room climate and should not allow molds and algae to grow on it. It should make a room look awesome and pleasing. Always make sure your painting is done by professionals.
