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
