Is it latex or oil-base on your room walls?

To tell whether your current wall color is a latex or oil-base paint, wet a white cloth with rubbing alcohol and rub it on your wall. If the paint color lightens and begins to transfer onto your wet cloth, it is definitely a latex paint. If the alcohol does not remove any color, it is an oil-base paint.

Fishers exterior trim

Ryan and I finished the exterior trim on a ranch home in Fishers. The couple were putting their home up for sale and wanted the trim painted before they put up for sale. The Sherwin Williams Duration paint in a satin finish really gave it a lot of curb appeal.

Indianapolis exterior trim

Ryan and I finished another exterior trim painting project last Friday. We spent one day prepping the house after pressure washing it - it was a foreclosed home and it definitely needed a lot of caulking and priming. There were also rotting boards that had to be replaced. We used Sherwin Williams Exterior Duration paint that is much thicker than your normal paint.
