First, the choice of colors was not as great as today. External and internal work on the staining produced the same colors. Today the range of colors a variety of and can choose those that are resistant to aggressive external influences, for example, to UV light.

Acrylic compositions



His winning streak of acrylic paint beginning more than half a century ago. These compounds are characterized by positive properties of all types of paints. Paint does not tarnish and does not fade in the sun, but is only a part of positive characteristics. In addition, this paint dries quickly, it can be used on many surfaces, but work with it extremely convenient.


In the acrylic paint pigment, water and binder, the latter can be used copolymers or acrylates. Latest binder less applicable, as the compositions made thereof, are very expensive. Apply acrylic paint on concrete, plaster, metal and other surfaces. If you have to put acrylic on plaster, then begin work not earlier than one month after application to the surface of the alignment layer.

Acrylic paints instead of the solvent include water, making them environmentally friendly. These compounds are almost devoid of smell, they do not emit carcinogens. As acrylic has a property to dry quickly, it allows you to paint the surface in stages, making short breaks between the layers.

Silicone compounds



Silicone paint is another type of compounds that do not fade in the sun. In addition, such materials have advantages over other paints, including to the above. Silicone paints are distinguished by the ability to breathe.

After applying silicone paints, with resin, is formed on the surface of the porous plastic coating. The wall is protected from exposure to rain, snow and dirt. On such a surface are not formed micro-organisms. The walls are covered with silicone composition, freely moisture. Choose silicone paints and for versatility, they are allowed to be applied to the surface, which is covered with another type of paint.

Self-prepared composition



There is a way and with his own hands to prepare the composition, which will be a great deal with the effects of UV light. To do this, use aluminum powder, which should be diluted with epoxy resin, to the composition you need to add a solvent, bringing the mixture to desired consistency. The paint has such a long lifetime, and acrylic. If the surface is not exposed to additional mechanical stress, the coating will not be long in need of updating. Within 8-10 years the aluminum powder in the paint will reflect the sunlight, and the surface will not excessively overheat.
