Acrylic latex paint is a specialized formula that falls within the broad category of latex paint. It uses acrylic resins to give it benefits not found in standard latex formulas. 21st Century Paints carries acrylic latex paint from Benjamin Moore, and we’re happy to help you select the perfect formula for your next home project.

Why Acrylic Latex Paint is an Excellent Choice

As a water-based paint, acrylic latex is more environmentally friendly and easier to clean than oil-based paints. Water-based paints have low VOCs, meaning better indoor air quality while painting and in the future. It offers outstanding color retention and stays vibrant even with exposure to direct sunlight. Acrylic latex paint is also moisture resistant, so you can use it in kitchens or bathrooms without worrying about peeling or mold growth. Versatility is another trait to look for in paint, and acrylic latex formulas adhere exceptionally well to various surfaces, including wood and masonry.

Tips for Using Acrylic Latex Paint

• Ensure you take the time to prep the area you’ll be painting. Clean and dry the surface thoroughly, and apply a coat of primer to get the best results.
• Invest in high-quality tools for more precise applications and professional-looking results. We suggest using synthetic brushes and microfiber rollers with a short pile.
• Mix them in a single bucket to ensure even color application if you’re using more than one can of paint.
• Apply two thin coats to allow the paint to dry evenly. Two coasts of paint allow it to fully cover whatever surface you’re working with.
• Maintain the finish of your paint by regularly cleaning the surface with water and mild detergent before grime has the chance to build up. Scrub it gently to remove any hard-to-remove stains.
