| Type | | Paints are opaque (pigmented) coatings which conceal the grains and color of the substrate and substitute in their place a surface of an entirely different color and texture. If you put paint on wood then the grains of the wood will be concealed completely and replaced by finishing provided by Paint |
| Raw Material | | To perform paint on wood you will need Pink primer, filler/ filling materials, synthetic enamel paint and tools for painting. |
| Implementation Raw Material | To paint on wood, the following steps should be taken - The surface should be cleaned of dust, mortar droppings and splashes of cement slurry etc.
- The wood work to be painted should be dry and free from moisture.
- All unevenness should be rubbed down smooth with sand paper.
- Knots if any should be covered with putty of same color.
- Priming coat should be applied before painting wood work.
|
| Style/Finishing | | Paint completely overtakes the finishing of the wooden and the grains of the wood are lost. However this is not a bad thing. A lot of times, you want to do paint on the wood as the paint can handle rough exterior weather where as polish gets damaged quickly. Paint can also provide glossy or matt finishes and paint has many options in colors, shades and styles which are not available in polish. Paint can be done to finish less expensive wood too as the paint would hide the grains of the wood anyway. |
| Maintenance | | Painted surfaces are easier to clean and have more life than polish finish. All you need to do is wipe off the dust with dry cloth or occasionally use moist cloth to clean |
| Advantages | - Available in container, ready to use.

- Glossy finishes are generally used in bathroom, kitchens and for painting dado in hospitals, schools, stairs hall in public buildings etc.
|
| Disadvantages | - Paints face the problems like peeling, cracking and flaking.
- It takes much time to dry.
|
| Skill | The general paint work requires less skilled workers so can be completed at a relatively cheaper cost. |
| Weather effect | | Painting on wood protects the wood from all weather. |
| Time interval between TWO coats | | Paint require more time between two coats as it dries slowly. |
| Durability | - The paint surface is more durable against ultraviolet rays which present in the sun light.
- The ultraviolet radiation is to a great extent absorbed by the pigments present in the paint coatings which protect the surface from damage.
|
| Defect Removel | | The defects like knotting, pores, any sawing defect and cracks etc are very well covered during the painting. |
