2. What Is The Difference Between Paint And Stain?
Paint forms a protective film that binds to the substrate, protecting it by preventing the surface from being damaged by abrasions or weathering. Stain, on the other hand, forms a very thin film on the substrate. It protects by penetrating the surface and thus preventing water or ultraviolet light from damaging the surface. A stain’s thin film can hold it's color but cannot provide the uniformity of color that paint produces.
