Paint types used
See the paint types documented in Cambridge's work, with links to PaintZeal references explaining each coating's properties, uses, and working characteristics.
Enamel Paint
Enamel paint is a broad category of coatings designed to form a hard and durable finish. Modern enamels may use either oil-based or water-based binders.
Surface types used
See the surface types documented in Cambridge's work, with links to PaintZeal references explaining how each substrate behaves and is prepared for painting.
Drywall
Drywall is a building panel made with a gypsum core faced with paper. Joint compound covers seams and repairs, creating areas with different absorbency.
Wood
Wood is a natural, porous material with grain patterns and absorbency that vary by species and cut. Its surface may also contain knots, resin, or an existing finish.
Wallpaper
Wallpaper may be paper, vinyl-coated, textured, or made from another specialty material. Painting over it is most practical when the wallcovering is sound and firmly bonded, with loose seams and damaged areas repaired first.
