Paint types used by Juan Vasquez
Illusions Inc. documents interior and exterior painting, finishes, and furniture restoration, but does not name paint binders or brands for specific jobs.
-
Architectural paint (binder unspecified)
The company describes finishing walls and ornate details with paint or stain, and lists specialty finishes and spray finishing. Its published project information does not name a paint binder or product for those jobs, so the work is classified here as architectural paint without assuming latex, oil, or enamel.

Painting surfaces used by Juan Vasquez
Illusions Inc. documents drywall interiors, wood trim, and furniture restoration; these examples describe architectural work, not easel-painting supports.
-
Drywall
Vasquez’s company documents residential and commercial painting on drywall interiors. His work includes preparation, patching, priming, and finish application, so the wall surface is part of a full contractor process rather than merely a backdrop. Public project descriptions establish the substrate but do not name a specific coating for every job.
-
Wood
Vasquez’s work also includes painted wood trim and furniture restoration. He sands and prepares the existing finish before applying paint or a specialty finish, matching the process to the condition of the substrate. The company and trade profiles document this work on wood without assuming one paint product.
