Poll:If cost wasn't an issue which cabinet paint would you choose
Comments (13)FPE. Well...you DID ask for the best...;-)! "Be careful what you wish for..." Yes, it's pricey. I've had my hands in it, sampled it, and therefore used it @ home. It IS NOT normal paint. * We're talkin' "Four Seasons Maui" vs. the Holiday-Inn kinda difference...except FPE is a little cheaper...;-) (We were lucky enough to stay @ the Four Seasons last June) * Your paint cost will increase SOME. So what? The added value, durability, & appearance will outweigh a few $$'s. * Just as proof...my setup for my downstairs bath...my fave C2-One primer, and the Euroqt. of FPE Matte, which cost $45 delivered. Walls were washed with powdered Dirtex. Faron...See MoreX-post: Which cabinet paint would you choose?
Comments (3)Satin Impervo or their Dulamel are the best you can get with out going to a two part system or conversion varnish, neither of which many painters will apply in your home. As with any paint job the final product is most dependant on the prep work....See MoreChoosing to paint most likely, what colors would you choose??

Comments (6)I feel that if you paint the trim around the window, then you should paint all other trim. It would look odd otherwise and honestly, it would look like only parts of the home have been freshened up. There's a house I drive past that apparently buys a run of siding as the owners' budget allows. So it's been a slowly disappearing face of Tyvek wrap for the past 4 years. Personally. I wish they had just saved up over the years and done it all at once. So I also vote for just waiting until you can do it all at once. If I can barely tolerate/ignore the exterior of my house for 12 years, anyone can. I don't think the other responder was suggesting that you paint the garage door the same CURRENT color, but instead, once you do paint the stucco, make the garage the same color. I personally think cream colored house, or gray, with black trim would look sharp. Can you find more of those eaves and add them to the entrance at some point? Have no clue if it's possible, just a thought. Please make sure whatever siding you paint, you paint it all, not just what faces the street. Trim those shrubs too. Just saw that brick on the front, if that's the only place you have the brick, I'd budget for removing it. Looks ridiculous. Keep us posted....See Morekelleg69
