When choosing a paint for your bathroom remodel project in Santa Monica, it’s important to consider the damp and humid conditions that may exist. Hot showers and sink splashes can lead to moisture on the walls, and the paint you choose needs to be able to stand up to these conditions and resist mildew growth—a common problem in bathrooms. While oil paint has its reputation for durability and the ability to stand up to scrubbing—necessary qualities in a paint for bathrooms—it requires the use of mineral spirits for clean-up, dries slowly between coats, and releases high levels of volatile organic compounds. There’s also the chance that oil paint will yellow over time, especially in low-light conditions. Follow up Modern General Contractor for more information.
