Save $100,000 on Your Home

In 2004, SmartMoney.com did an analysis showing that over 30 years of owning your home, it costs almost $100,000 to paint, patch, and repair the exterior. And that is if you only paint every 8 years! If you paint every 3 years, the total cost jumps to $172,000. There is a better solution that is far less expensive in the long run and far better for the environment.

An amazing paint product called Rhino Shield was developed in the 60’s for use on commercial buildings. About 10 years ago, it became available for residential homes. “Paint it once and you are done,” states Jeff Olson, owner of Rhino Shield of California. “You never have to paint, patch, repair or replace it again—ever.” This unique paint is estimated to last 80 to 100 years. Buildings that were painted over 40 years ago still look as though they were freshly painted. In fact, BASF, the world’s leading chemical company, did an independent test on Rhino Shield paint. Using a process that simulates 25 years of weather and aging, the results showed that Rhino Shield paint showed no signs of deterioration. It can be used on practically any exterior house surface, including wood, stucco, vinyl siding, brick, cement block, concrete, Masonite, and stone. It doesn’t peel, chip, or flake and is practically maintenance free. Hmm, which would you choose as a weekend activity: painting the house or having a barbecue with friends?

Rhino Shield is just like any other paint in that it comes in every color imaginable. Each batch is custom mixed to match the customer’s color choice. “We even had a customer in Mill Valley request a charcoal black house with black trim,” describes Jeff. Any other paint wouldn’t last a year because the weather makes black paint fade so quickly. “Years later that house still looks like it was newly painted. And the color combination actually turned out great, too!” laughs Jeff.

Rhino Shield paint is waterproof and provides soundproofing and insulation. It reflects over 90% of the sun’s energy and qualifies as a low-E coating. The insulating aspect of the paint actually makes your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which should lower your utility bills. In addition to saving the planet through lower energy usage, Rhino Shield paint is environmentally friendly. It is water based and contains no vinyl, latex, mineral fillers, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

The secret to Rhino Shield’s amazing benefits is thousands of ceramic microspheres. Manufactured by 3M, these spheres have a vacuum core, which means they are not just hollow they have a void of air within each sphere’s center. 3M designed them to stop thermal conductivity, and it makes the spheres great insulators.

Coastal areas often have corrosion problems from the sea spray in the air. An independent test shows Rhino Shield as the most salt-tolerant coating on the market. For inland areas that are concerned about wildfires, Rhino Shield is a class A fire retardant. In some states its class A fire rating may help qualify for a discount on homeowner’s insurance.

“You are gonna love this paint,” insists Jeff. “It will look great forever. No more dragging ladders around, hanging off of gutters, getting splattered with paint and yelling at your spouse,” he adds whimsically. “Forget all that and go on vacation!” When you also consider the lifetime transferable warranty, lower energy usage, green ingredients, fire retardant and salt corrosion factors, hassle-free maintenance, and lifetime cost savings, choosing Rhino Shield for your home becomes the easiest decision you will ever make.
