Why Paint Needs Special Care

Paint is susceptible to various factors that can affect its quality during transport. Temperature fluctuations can cause the paint to separate or degrade, making it crucial to maintain a stable environment. Similarly, rough handling might result in cans bursting open or getting damaged, leading to potential losses and messes.
