Which is the best Sherwin Williams interior paint?
Comments (9)A Magic Eraser taken to any paint film is going to remove some of the final finish. Magic Erasers are good for lots of things but should never be used on a painted wall IMO. When light hits the scrubbed spot just right, you can see how the Magic Eraser left an uneven finish behind. SuperPaint is honestly one of the best values on the paint market today. Value meaning you get a lot of good stuff in the can for what you pay. Including a perfectly lovely final finish/result. Especially if you hit it on a sale or have coupons. But Super Paint is not a top tier can of paint. The more upper tier, better grade of paint you go, the more durable. Usually. In general people take the notion of "scrubbable" too far with all tiers of paint. Better grades are going to be tougher, but they have limits. You can only clean within reason. There is a breakeven point where you have to objectively look at the ding or scuff and determine it needs to be touched-up, not scrubbed....See MoreBest Sherwin Williams white color for cabinet
Comments (11)I don't know which SW is the best for you, but I am also researching white paint for my cabs. I suggest a Google search of best whites or best SW whites for cabs. I found great info as to why you should pick a particular colour (it's all about the undertones). I am leaning towards BM Simply White, but your preferences and your space may be very different than mine!...See MoreSherwin William Alabaster Trim & Cabinets with a true white ceiling??
Comments (2)It should look fine. Most people don't notice ceilings, and it's fine if it's a little off. Worst case you hate it and you can repaint the ceiling later on....See MoreWhich Behr paint color is the best match for SherwinWilliams PureWhite
Comments (8)I am so grateful for all of the many helpful comments, thank you! Toni and Home Reborn, I agree with the suggestion to bring the paint chip to HD to match. Choe, thanks for suggesting Lori, so grateful she did chime in. @funcolors you really defined the issue for me when you stated that the base paints are different. Light bulb moment for sure! Thank you for creating that chart for me. It's really helpful. I'm going to print your chart and go to SW for a paint chip, then take it to Home Depot. At SW you can request the tint formula (particular to a certain type of base paint), the "color recipe" and they happily print it out. I've asked for this at Home Depot however, I have not been able to get it there. A different business model with less emphasis on that kind of service. However, I will add that the poorest customer service I've gotten at a paint counter is, hands down, Benjamin Moore stores. I love the BM counters tucked in neighborhood Ace Hardwares but not at the BM stores. Perhaps they are too busy... I have a lot of confidence in my contractor so I'm not worried about differences in quality. It's all about trade-offs when you renovate, or at least, when I renovate. I am prepared to be realistic and flexible in order to focus on the completion of my project. And absolutely Patricia, I'm looking for close enough and that will be good enough. Thanks again for your truly heopful insights! Lori's Amazing Website...See Morepaintguy22
