Sherwin Williams - best type/line of interior paint?
Comments (3)susanjn I am trying to find a yellow/gold paint now for my foyer and kitchen...Believable Buff that you used from SW - how do you like it? I don't want anything too yellow and not too light....See MoreHas anyone used ProMar 200 by Sherwin Williams?
Comments (41)I just had a bathroom and bedroom remodeled in my house. My contractors told me to go to Sherwin Williams to pick out a color, so I went to the local SW showroom and picked a color called High Reflective White and told them I wanted it in semigloss for the walls. They tried to talk me into flat or eggshell, but I insisted on semigloss because I like the way it looks and everything else in my house is painted in semigloss and I've NEVER had a problem with semigloss paint. The owner/foreman of the contractor company said to me "you shouldn't use semigloss, it's going to peel right off the walls" - I thought he was joking. The day that the contractor's workers did painting, they brought in a 5 Gallon bucket of Promar200 paint - I wasn't expecting Promar, I was expecting one of the other Sherwin Williams brands. So, anyway, the workers started slapping paint on the brand new drywall WITHOUT putting primer on first. They did 2 coats of paint in the bathroom and bedroom on a Friday. I could still see purple wallboard through the paint so I did a third coat in the bathroom over the weekend. I have done a LOT of painting in my 51 years and I've never seen paint go on so poorly. It took forever to dry and it was very thin going on the walls. Since there was more construction to be done, the paint got nicked up in several places and I was absolutely shocked that the nicked paint literally led to THE PAINT PEELING RIGHT OFF THE WALL! I was in utter disbelief. If I tried to fix the edges of the nicks and scrapes, the paint literally started to peel right off the wall in sheets. Mind you, the bathroom was not yet in use at all! In fact, due to poor workmanship throughout the project that I complained about, the contractors that I hired literally ghosted me and walked off the job and I've since had to hire other competent contractors to come in and fix the problems...I haven't had a working bathroom for 12 weeks now, but that's another story...back to the peeling paint... The second contractors that I had to hire had to replace the new window that was installed in the bathroom by the first contractors because it was the wrong type of window (new construction with nail fin, and should have been replacement) and it was installed incorrectly on top of that. Because the new contractors had to cut away drywall around the window to replace it, the paint literally peeled off the wall as the drywall was being removed. I'm now in the process of peeling ALL of the paint off the walls so that I can add a primer coat and use something other than Promar200 which has to be the cheapest and worst paint on the face of the earth. So far, I peeled this much off in about 10 minutes. The smattering of paint that's in the lower left corner of the peeled area is where I tried to use a heat gun to scrape away the paint...that part is now stuck to the wallboard just slightly better than the rest of the paint, but as you can see, it's literally peeling off in sheets....See MoreSherwin William PROMAR 400 used on exterior
Comments (5)What specific paint does your contract state will be used on the exterior? It is possible that 5 gallons of the specified exterior paint was dumped into an empty 5 gallon bucket because he wanted to use the 5 gal container for the sprayer or whatever. But then you would have 5 one-gallon cans lying around somewhere. When I painted I always kept the empty containers on site until the job was done and the check was in my hands....See MoreWhich Sherwin Williams interior paint do you use?
Comments (7)Also usually a BM loyalist (Regal Select is my fave), but just recently broke with that and used SW Emerald interior matte to repaint a bedroom the previous owners had painted a DARK, almost black Navy. The Emerald was recommended for covering the dark with a much lighter color (Sea Salt) and since the coupon brought the original crazy high price to the same/equal to what I usually spend on BM Regal, I went with it. I was (am) impressed with the coverage and the paint formula in general, 2 coats and the navy was nowhere to be seen....See Moredave_yourpainters_com
