Paint Retailers
Paint retailers are stores that sell various types of paint directly to consumers. Paint retailers include hardware stores, hobby stores and paint specialty stores, and these retailers sell various types and colours of paint for different purposes. Most paint retailers focus on house paints because of the high demand for this type of paint.
Regardless of the colour or type, paints can be classified into three main categories based on their curing or drying mechanism. The first category of paint is the physically drying paints, which bind on surfaces, such as wood and concrete, by the evaporation of the solvent. Many paint retailers sell this type of paint. Water-based paints that are used on wood are examples of this type of paint.
The other categories of paints that are sold by paint retailers are the oxidative and chemically hardening paints. The oxidative drying paints require the chemical reaction of oxygen with the oil in the paint. The chemically hardening paints, on the other hand, require the chemical reaction between the base and hardener. Some paint retailers may specialise on certain categories of paint.
