Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Coats of Paint Does My Home’s Exterior Need?
Most traditional exterior paint jobs use multiple coats, usually primer plus one or two finish coats. Even then, paint is still a thin film that can wear down fast in Carolina heat, humidity and storms.
Rhino Shield is installed as a ceramic coating system with a bonding primer and a thick ceramic finish coat, supported by a prep process designed to help it hold on and hold up.

What’s the Difference Between Coating and Regular Paint?
Regular exterior paint dries into a thin layer that can crack, peel or fade as your home expands and contracts.
Rhino Shield is a high-build ceramic coating designed to bond, flex with seasonal movement and breathe so moisture is less likely to get trapped. It goes on much thicker than standard latex paint which is a big reason it resists chipping and peeling better over time.

How Much Does Coating Cost?
Pricing depends on your home’s size, the surface, access and how much prep work is needed.
Rhino Shield typically costs more upfront than regular paint because of the materials, the step-by-step prep and the long-term warranty protection. The best way to get a real number is a quote based on your home’s exterior condition.

How Does Rhino Shield Work?
