time and money. Advanced acrylic technology
provides the longest-lasting coating available.
It is suitable for almost all external surfaces
and even covers well over darker colors of
vinyl siding.
Colebar said they are excited about their
new line, HGTV Home Exterior Latex. Its low
temperature tolerance extends the painting
season from spring into fall. Low in VOCs,
it is environmentally friendly and provides a
durable coating. It is mildew-resistant, which
is great for spaces that have a tendency toward
mold and mildew. Places that are shaded or
have bushes and plant growth
or standing water are
definitely hot spots for
mildew.

Exterior is easy to
apply and suitable for
use on prepped wood,
masonry,
concrete
block and metal.
INTERIOR
On the same line,
Colebar says there are interior paints that are
mildew- and microbial-resistant (preventing
bacteria growth), which are highly suitable
for bathrooms, basements, playrooms and
kitchens.
At the top of the line is Duration Home. It
is mildew- and microbial-resistant and highly
washable.
Harmony is mildew- and microbial-resistant.
It is also the most eco-friendly, with almost no
odor during application, and has the ability to
reduce odors in a room, making it suitable for
hospitals and schools.
In recent years the store’s most popular
product has been its SuperPaint. It is self-
priming, making it good for drywall or going
over strong colors, saving time and money.
With the most difficult decisions on color
and paint now over, you’ll want to ask what
you need to do to prepare the surfaces and
what supplies you might need.
Colebar said theyhave everythingyou’ll need
in supplies, tools and equipment. Applicators,
brushes, rollers, drop cloths, joint compound
for dings, caulk for cracks, sandpaper, stain
and adhesive removers, tools, and much more
are available. They also have wallpaper and
border remover supplies and a steamer to rent.
While the store no longer stocks wallpaper,
there are hundreds of patterns to be found in
books that can be checked out and taken home.
Currently the natural “grass”-textured papers
are very popular.
