You claim to be a professional painter, but the content of the question and its frantic tone wouldn't give me much confidence in you or your business. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

There are certainly alternatives to "latex". Some of the nano-tech finishes are starting to look promising. I used an antigraffiti paint that was silicon based and amazing. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
