Have you ever heard of plastic paint that is guarteed for life?
We are going to paint and was wondering how good the paint is?

Pamela:

I know there are paints that say they are plastic or an elastomeric. What brand of paint is the company using? I would be careful of anything that is guaranteed to for life. Sometimes the product looks ok, but the color itself can fade depending on the shade/tones. The problem I have heard from homeowners and know about companies that offer life time coatings is that they charge way too much money to apply the paint. I just spoke with someone yesterday who spent $10,000 to paint his very small house (approximately 1700 sq. ft). The company guaranteed the paint for as long as he owned the home. He said they were hard to deal with when they started, and when I looked at the paint, they did not apply it right! The homeowner would not know the difference, but I could tell it was not done properly. If that company goes out of business, this man just paid 50% more than what we would have charged! I would be careful about “plastic” coatings, because I am not sure how well that product can breathe on a home like some of the ceramic coatings out there.
