Paints are not all the same.
It is important to choose quality products to achieve better results and save time and effort.
Depending on the occasion, you can choose between tempera paints, water paints and enamels.
In turn, water-based paints are divided into breathable, washable, super-washable, sanitizing and thermal insulating.
