I did go ahead and prime the bench but after talking with PPG, it was unnecessary with PPG Timeless because it’s truly a one-coat coverage, primer+paint all-in-one. I had to sand the bench because I had so many layers of paint flaking off. That’s what extreme humidity does to wood. Here’s a shot of my bench last Christmas and if you look closely, you can see where the paint is flaking (especially on the seat) and the grains of the wood splitting/separating. I was especially curious to see what the finish looked like. I decided that this would be the ultimate exterior paint project to put this new paint to the test and see if I liked the paint. It had 5-7 coats of paint flaking off from over the 15 years that I had it and it was just so beat up from our extreme Texas heat and humidity. I had planned this year to just get rid of this bench and get a new one because it was in such bad shape. PPG Timeless comes in both exterior and interior. The first project that I did to try out the new PPG Timeless was painting my front porch bench using the PPG Timeless Exterior Paint. That’s why I’m so excited for you guys to try it! It’s really a fool-proof beautiful paint! As a paint geek, I realized as I used it start-to-finish that PPG just took paint to a whole new level with the new Timeless Paint. However, after I tried it, I realized that they went beyond what I could imagine and they created a consumer paint that simply doesn’t exist on the market. #PPG TIMELESS PAINT PROFESSIONAL#When PPG contacted me and told me about their new paint and asked me to try it, I figured it would be good because of PPG’s history of making the best professional paints/coatings. In addition, they wanted to incorporate one-coat coverage, primer+paint all-in-one, UV protected and the most durable consumer paint on the market but still a gorgeous finish. So, PPG decided to create a paint for us on the consumer side using some of the same leading PPG technology and innovation found in their commercial paints/coatings. Nothing has to be more durable than the paint on the space shuttle on re-entry to the Earth, right?! Of course, these paints have to withstand the toughest of all elements and durability. For example, PPG creates paints for airplanes, space shuttles, submarines and more large commercial type situations. In other words, big companies hire them to develop highly durable industrial type paint for unique uses. PPG has been more on the professional paint/coatings side of the paint industry for 130 years. Stick with me on this and I promise you’ll understand why in a moment. I don’t want to sound to paint nerdy/technical in this post but to better explain the significance of this new paint, I wanted to share a little background for those of you not familiar with PPG. I was so blown away by this paint ( now available at Home Depot) that I’m excited to finally tell/show you guys how this paint is gonna be a serious game changer when it comes to our paint projects! I cannot even begin to tell you just how excited I am about today’s post! I recently teamed up with PPG Timeless to be one of the firsts to try their new one-coat coverage, paint+primer paint called PPG Timeless, before it hit the market. After applying one coat, our walls and ceilings were completely transformed to white.I have been sponsored by PPG Timeless to write this post, but all opinions expressed are my own. Our walls had a tan/beige color in our kitchen and almost a blue/green in our dining room prior to this project. While we did hire professional painters to tackle this complete home paint makeover, I observed this coverage as they were painting. The PPG Timeless paint goes on to walls and ceilings so smoothly. This is exactly what we needed! You can simply wipe off any of those handprints and other stains easily with this paint! Huge win, right?! I want our white walls staying fresh and new looking for years to come. PPG Timeless paint line has wear and stain-resistant finish. Steering clear of paints that didn’t have the ability to wipe down was a huge component of this makeover. We had been long overdue to repaint our walls due to the wear and tear of handprints, food stains, and just the everyday marks that were showing up on our walls. We have four children, meaning the walls of our home can get messy looking. PPG Timeless Paint Stain Resistant Formula
