October 15, 2025

When it comes to exterior painting in Indiana, homeowners and business owners are searching for solutions that are not only beautiful but also durable and low-maintenance.

We understand that you have questions before making any big investment in your home or business. That’s why our experts have compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions about Rhino Shield exterior coatings, helping you make the best decision for your property.


What Makes Rhino Shield Different from Regular Exterior Paint?


Rhino Shield is not your ordinary paint. As an advanced ceramic elastomeric coating, it is specially engineered for Indiana’s challenging weather. Here’s why Rhino Shield stands out from the competition:


  • Rhino Shield is up to 10 times thicker than conventional paint, providing superior protection and durability.
  • The ceramic microspheres in our formula offer exceptional resistance to UV rays, harsh weather, and moisture.
  • Our coatings are designed to resist chipping, peeling, and cracking—common issues with traditional paints.
  • Rhino Shield comes with a 25-year transferable warranty, providing long-term value and peace of mind.


Is Rhino Shield Suitable for Indiana’s Diverse Building Materials?


Yes! Rhino Shield’s versatility is one of the many reasons it’s trusted by property owners across Indiana. Our coatings adhere and protect a wide variety of surfaces, including:


  • Brick
  • Wood
  • Metal
  • Stucco
  • Historic buildings
  • Siding and Vinyl
  • Asbestos.


Whether you’re renovating a classic home in Indianapolis, updating a storefront in Fort Wayne, or preserving the charm of a historic property in Bloomington, Rhino Shield provides superior coverage and protection.


How Does the Application Process Work?


Our expert team at Rhino Shield of Indiana takes a comprehensive approach to ensure a flawless finish:


1. Inspection: We start with a detailed inspection to identify any existing damage or problem areas.


2. Repair: Any issues—such as cracks, wood rot, or mildew—are meticulously repaired.


3. Professional Application: The Rhino Shield system is then applied using industry-best techniques to create a seamless, durable barrier.


Throughout the process, we minimize disruption and keep communication clear, so you always know what to expect.


Is Rhino Shield Eco-Friendly and Energy Efficient?

  • Our coatings are low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), making them safer for your family, employees, and the environment.
