Interior and Exterior Paint

Not all paint performs the same. Differences in coverage, thickness, and formulation can impact both the final result and how much work is required.

We carry Valspar paint products that allow customers to choose based on performance and budget:

  • Valspar Silver
  • Valspar Gold
  • Valspar Medallion

Each level offers a different balance of coverage, durability, and cost.

Understanding Paint Coverage

One of the most helpful tools in our store is our paint demonstration board.

This display shows how each paint tier performs when covering bold red stripes. It gives a clear, visual comparison of how many coats are needed to achieve full coverage.

Here is how the tiers generally compare:

Silver Line
Often requires primer and multiple coats to fully cover the surface. This can increase both material use and labor time.

Gold Line
A self-priming option that typically covers in fewer coats and provides a strong balance of performance and value.

Medallion Line
A high-performance paint that can often achieve solid coverage with one coat under the right conditions.

Seeing this difference in person helps customers make bettter decisions based on both cost and effort.

Exterior Stains
