Determining Paint Opacity: How to tell if your Paint is Opaque or Transparent

March 14, 2018 Leave a Comment

If you want to paint with greater confidence you really need to understand the properties of your paints. I’m not just referring to paint color either. I’m referring to Your Paint’s Opacity.

Do you Really know whether the paints you are using are Opaque or Transparent?

You should.

From glazing to covering up painting mistakes and pencil and inked lines; choosing the right paint for the job requires you to understand just how transparent your paint it. Fortunately there is an easy way to determine this. The video is just under 5 minutes but, it’s worth watching. You’ll never look at your paints the same again!
