Finger paint text.
Next time you're in the market for pant for your home, try our finger paint test when you want to know if paint is good or goo. To determine if paint is of good quality, have the paint shaken, pop the lid and give it the finger test. If rubbing it between your thumb and fingertip results in a smooth and silky feel; it's high-quality paint. If it feels gritty, it's poor quality. The cheap stuff typically uses clay as filler which gives it a gritty consistency. When it comes to assessing paint for your home, the finger-paint test isn't child's play. If the store keeper refuses to "pop a top" for a finger test, we suggest you take your business elsewhere. It's smart and easy.
