What It Is
Regal Select Exterior is the paint on more of our jobs than any other — a premium 100% acrylic that balances durability, application quality, and value. It levels beautifully off the brush, holds color, resists mildew, and flexes with wood and vinyl through freeze-thaw cycles.
How Our Crews Use It
This is our standard topcoat for painted wood siding and trim, vinyl siding in Vinyl-Safe® colors, window packages, and wood garage doors. When a customer asks what we'd put on our own houses, this is usually the answer.
