Winter Painting Advice From Anton Dudley
Winter is usually poor for exterior painting but ideal for interior work if rooms stay warm. Heat helps maintain a steady temperature, limits dust, and allows longer drying between coats, reducing dryer use and improving results. Pure zinc white paint, tinted or untinted, is durable and wholesome for interiors.
