Five suggestions
First, buy the heaviest bag.
Lift the paint bucket and shake it. If there is a sparse sound, it means that the packaging is seriously insufficient, the weight is insufficient, the viscosity is too low, and the regular manufacturer is genuine. You can hardly hear the sound when you shake it.
Second, buy the one that spends the least.
Consult the merchant about the number and area of painting, calculate the consumption and material cost per square meter, and don't be deceived by the unit price of each group (barrel). Those with low unit price tend to consume a lot, which is more expensive and wasteful after careful calculation, and the quality effect is poor.
Third, buy professional and supportive ones.
Products with good quality are often more professional, providing technical guidance and after-sales service, including pre-sales consultation, construction guidance and suggestions during sale, after-sales maintenance, etc. And regular manufacturers provide a variety of vehicle colors.
Fourth, the purchase information is complete.
The packaging of genuine paint has clear trademark, place of origin, contact telephone number, net weight, enterprise commitment standard, etc. , its website can be opened. Miscellaneous paints are often marked with false addresses, telephone numbers and websites.
V. Buy a "trustworthy enterprise"
Trustworthy enterprises are directly purchased from the market by government agencies for evaluation, and will only be listed if there are no complaints throughout the year.
Three principles
Rule 1: Buy only what you need.
It's hard to say which paint is cost-effective, the key is your own needs. At present, the properties of coatings are mostly concentrated in scrubbing resistance, mildew resistance, antibacterial, covering small cracks and so on, and the price of coatings also rises with the increase of functions. Before buying, think about your own needs. The most expensive is not necessarily useful to you. For example, some can resist scrubbing for more than 20,000 times, while others can resist scrubbing for 3,000 times. The price of the former is naturally much more expensive. However, the state stipulates that as long as the number of scrubbing resistance reaches 65,438+0,000 times, it is qualified, so which one to choose depends on your own needs; Another example is that some houses are sunny, well ventilated and mildew-proof. This money need not be wasted.
Rule 2: Don't trust advertisements.
Get rid of the fog of paint advertisements and directly verify the authenticity from relevant testing means, testing standards and authoritative testing institutions. For example, the so-called nano-coating is not worthy of the name, and there is no internationally recognized testing standard.
Principle 3: let go of your hands and feet to buy domestic products.
At present, imported coatings account for about 45% of our coatings market, mainly occupying our high-end and mid-range markets. Their prices are 20% more expensive than domestic paints. However, the test results of 10 domestic and foreign paint brands published by the National Chemical Building Materials Testing Center in 2003 proved that the brands of Fuya, Carpoly and Qiansehua were comparable to foreign brands such as Nippon and Dulux in quality.
