It’s a brand new year, filled with new resolutions. You might want to meet up with friends you haven’t seen in a while or start that hobby you’ve been putting off. With this newfound energy to try new things, starting on home improvement projects may seem tedious and time-consuming. But no worries! With enamel paint, you can spruce up your home and still have the time and energy to do what you want to do. Here are some fast facts about enamel paint, and how it could be your new DIY best friend.

What is Enamel Paint?

Traditionally, the name “enamel paint” was exclusively used for oil-based paint with a glossy finish. As water-based and latex paints developed, however, enamel paint came to mean any paint with a hard, glossy, and opaque finish. Surfaces with enamel paint are washable, and the formulation makes it resistant to regular wear-and-tear. Enamel paint also tends to have quicker drying times, perfect for painting projects on a schedule.

Where to Use Enamel Paint

Enamel paint is flexible and comes in different finishes, perfect for different areas of the house. Want to give your home a makeover in a jiffy? Here are some places where you can use enamel paint:

  • Kitchens: Highly durable and easily washable, enamel paint is a perfect match for the kitchen. Prevent the build-up of dirt and stains and keep your kitchen in tiptop shape! The glossy finish of enamel paint also helps in giving the kitchen area an immaculate look.
  • Floors: Enamel paint can also be used on floors that experience high traffic. The gloss lessens the need to shine floor surfaces. It also gives a clean and crisp look to any room.
  • Appliances and Furniture: Appliances made from stainless steel often come with their own protective coating, but you can also use enamel paint to give the surfaces added protection. You can protect the metal from corrosion and make it easier to color-coordinate your home!
