Glidden^™ Quality

So how good is Glidden Paint's new formula?
Before our paint goes in the can, the new Glidden paint formula is torture-tested in our labs, and the results are conclusive: In independent tests, our new formula was rated higher in quality than many more expensive brands, and as good as one that costs over $50 per gallon.
Here's what you can expect from every can of Glidden paint:

Glid-ability: Goes on smooth and easy, no matter the paint, wall color or finish. No muss. No fuss.
Who knew painting could feel so good?

Quick Coat Coverage: Covers many colors in just one coat.
Out with the old and in with the new.

Endurance: We've scrubbed walls painted with Glidden^™ Paints 1,000 times with a nylon brush and scouring paste. The look you love will last. Try our paint samples to prove it.

Stain Resistance — Tough stains can be removed with soap and water, so wiping down walls is a snap.

Scrub-ability — When walls require more than just a wipe-down, our paint stands up to heavy scrubbing with bristle brushes and scouring paste.

Bond-ability — Walls, doors and edges resist chipping and peeling because our paint is made to stick to even the most difficult surfaces.

Rub Resistance — Our paint resists glossy spots from repeated contact in high-traffic areas.

Exterior Trouble Shooting Tips

Alligatoring
Blistering
Chalking
Chipping
Dirt Pickup
Fading
Mildew
Nail Rust
Incompatibility
Peeling
Poor Alkali
Tanning Stains
Wrinkling

Problem:

Alligatoring — Cracked paint.

Solution:

Pressure-wash or clean the surface well. Then, sand and scrape away all loose or flaking paint. Finally, apply a high-quality latex home paint.

Problem:

Blistering — Bubbles under the painted surface.

Solution:

Pressure-wash or clean the surface well. Sand and scrape away all loose or flaking paint. Then, caulk all cracks and gaps around windows. Finally, apply a high quality latex home paint.

Problem:

Chalking — A fine powder on the paint's surface associated with old or poor-quality paints.

Solution:

Pressure-wash or clean the surface well. After washing, run your hand over the surface to check for additional chalking. If it still exists, you'll need to prime the surface. Finally, apply a high-quality latex home paint.

Problem:

Chipping/Flaking — Specks of flaking paint caused by spreading the paint too thinly during application.

Solution:

Pressure-wash or clean the surface well. Then, sand and scrape away all loose or flaking paint. Finally, apply a high-quality latex home paint.

Problem:

Dirt pickup — Accumulation of dirt on siding caused by the natural aging of home paint or the use of a low-quality paint.

Solution:

Pressure-wash or clean the surface well. Then, apply a high-quality latex home paint and wash annually, or as needed, to maintain cleanliness.

Problem:

Fading — Occurs when paint color fades because of age or sun exposure.

Solution:

Use a high-quality, 100% acrylic paint.

Problem:

Mildew — Black, brown or gray spots on the painted surface.

Solution:

Trim away plants that may be contributing to the mildew. Scrub the surface with a solution of one part household bleach to three parts water, and then rinse with clean water. If needed, retouch or repaint with a high-quality latex home paint.

Problem:

Nailhead Rusting — Rust spots on home paint surface caused by using non-galvanized nails.

Solution:

Sand to remove rust, then countersink the nailheads and fill uneven areas with putty. Finally, retouch or repaint with high-quality latex home paint.

Problem:

Paint incompatibility — Layers of peeling paint on top of old paint caused by using a latex paint over old oil paint that is not properly prepared.

Solution:

If you are painting over an oil-based paint that has not been on the surface for at least one year, always sand the surface. If needed, retouch or repaint with a high-quality latex home paint.

Problem:

Peeling — Large sections of home paint peeling away from the surface, usually caused when moisture seeps through the exterior walls from inside the house.

Solution:

Pressure-wash or clean the surface well. Sand and scrape away all loose or flaking paint. Then, caulk all cracks and gaps around windows. Finally, apply a high-quality latex home paint.

Problem:

Poor Alkali Resistance — Color loss on fresh masonry caused by applying paint to masonry that has not cured for a full year.

Solution:

Allow masonry to cure for a full year before painting, or apply an alkali-resistant primer. Finally apply a high-quality, 100% latex home paint.

Problem:

Tanning Stains — Brown/tan discoloration that typically occurs on woods such as redwood, cedar and mahogany.

Solution:

Investigate the source of the problem before preparation to ensure it won't spread. Wash or clean the surface well. Use an oil-based primer for severe staining.

Problem:

Wrinkling — Buckling paint caused by painting a warm, sunlit or wet surface; applying home paint too thickly; or painting over a dirty surface.

Solution:

Pressure-wash or clean the surface well. Then, sand and scrape away all loose or flaking paint. Finally, apply a high-quality, 100% latex home paint.
