Premium reformulations provide superior performance, long-lasting results for interior and exterior surfaces


CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa., Sept. 3, 2015 - For do-it-yourself consumers and professional painters seeking superior performance for interior and exterior residential painting projects, PPG PITTSBURGH PAINTS® brand introduces its reformulated, premium line of REGENCY® Paint + Primer-In-One acrylic latex paints.

"Whether painting a living room or the exterior of a home, the Regency product line delivers easy application with great flow and leveling, as well as excellent adhesion to ensure a smooth and durable finish," said Dan Passinault, associate director, innovation, products and execution, PPG Architectural Coatings. "Consumers and pros alike can also enjoy the time savings and ease of use with the Regency line's complete paint-and-primer-in-one formulations, which reduce the need for a primer coat."

The newly reformulated PPG Pittsburgh PaintsRegency Paint + Primer-In-One products provide premium coverage and color retention for long-lasting beauty and durability in three unique formulations - all with low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and low odor - including Regency Interior, Regency Exterior and Regency Interior/Exterior.

  • Regency Interior offers excellent repellency against common household stains to keep walls, ceilings and trim looking new - making it ideal for withstanding wear and tear in high-traffic areas. Further, its enduring finish provides excellent washability and scrubbability to withstand frequent cleanings. The new interior formula also provides increased uniformity for a more consistent finish.
  • Regency Exterior provides maximum protection against weathering and outdoor conditions, while maintaining a freshly painted appearance through outstanding color retention and resistance to dirt and dust. Additionally, Regency Exterior is engineered with a specialized urethane technology for strong adhesion to exterior surfaces, resulting in a tough, flexible coating that resists cracking, peeling and flaking. It is ideal for painting exterior surfaces such as wood, brick, masonry, weathered aluminum or vinyl siding.
  • Regency Interior/Exterior delivers lasting performance in a glossy finish with outstanding adhesion, hardness and scrubbability, and it is ideal for painting trim, cabinets, banisters, doors and molding. The new interior/exterior formula also features higher-volume solids that provide better hiding and coverage than the previous formula.
