Just in time for the spring home improvement season, America’s leading authority on paints and painting has published an informative new book on interior and exterior painting sure to be welcomed by the nation’s legion of do-it-yourselfers.

The Do-It-Yourselfer’s Guide to Successful & Satisfying Home Painting is the work of the Paint Quality Institute, whose mission is to inform and educate about the ins and outs of painting. That’s exactly what this new book does … and much, much more.

Devoting equal attention to the home interior and exterior, the book provides step-by-step instruction on painting every conceivable surface. Covered in this book are interior walls, trim, ceilings, floors, stairs, and others — as well as exterior materials ranging from wood siding and decks, to aluminum, vinyl, stucco, and more.

The book isn’t simply about the mechanics of painting; it’s also packed with tips and ideas on color, style, and fun ways to design and decorate with paint. Take the content on color, for example, it runs the gamut. Tips are offered on creating beautiful color schemes, information on the psychology of color, and insight about every hue.

Author Debbie Zimmer, who is a paint and color expert at the Paint Quality Institute, says that every do-it-yourselfer – from first-timers to those with plenty of experience — will benefit from the information contained in the book.

“Even professional painters will pick up some great pointers,” she says. If you’re looking for some fresh ideas on  interior decorating, need professional advice about maintaining the exterior of your home, or just want to learn about the many fun projects you can undertake with paint, you’ll find what you are looking for in The Do-It-Yourselfer’s Guide to Successful & Satisfying Home Painting.

The book is available in Kindle format only on amazon.com for a modest $2.99. You might want to consider picking  up a copy before picking up a paintbrush or roller this spring!
