CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa., July 7, 2015 - OLYMPIC® Paint and Stain announced today the launch of Olympic ASSURE™ interior and exterior paint-and-primer in one, available exclusively at LOWE'S® stores in the U.S.

Olympic Assure paint simplifies the painting process with easy-flow application and a hardworking finish, according to Lia Gancas, senior manager, Olympic brand of PPG Architectural Coatings. Backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal, Olympic Assure paint is available in a variety of sheens and includes formulas for interior and exterior applications.

"We understand that homeowners want and need a paint that is easy to use and that has beautiful, lasting results," Gancas said. "Olympic Assure paint applies with ease and delivers a highly durable finish that stands up to the daily wear and tear that happens on the inside and outside of a busy home."

The Olympic Assure brand offers a paint-and-primer product at a value - starting at less than $20 per gallon. It is available in more than 1,200 colors in the Olympic paint palette and backed by a lifetime warranty. The Olympic Assure brand will replace the Olympic ICON® brand over the coming months, delivering the same high quality and value that consumers have come to expect from the Olympic brand.
