Michael, other experts - which paint for bathroom -please help!
Comments (3)Michael, Thank you! Is is enough to use Clorox mixed with water to remove mold or do I need to get a cleaner specifically formulated for mildew removing? Also, you have previously advised on another post to use BM Satin Impervo for bathroom trims. I talked on the phone with my local BM dealer a few minutes ago and he said twice that BM Impervo is oil-based. I went to the BM website and saw that they had Waterborne Satin Impervo® 314. I guess that means that the local store does not yet have it. How do I get it? They do not carry Aura either - I asked. Where can I get the Aura and what is the advantage of using it? Do I HAVE to use Dirtex to clean the trims before priming or will the Liquid Sander do the same job? Thanks again!...See MorePaint Color Experts - please help - neutral grey for exterior
Comments (0)Hello All, Please give me your choices for the best neutral grey color for exterior. I have painted several sample boards - they either read too brown, purple or blue. Looking for the most neutral read with a medium LRV 32-39 please. So far, the best has been Dorian Grey SW- but hoping for more suggestions. I will cross post this in decorating as well. Thank you in advance....See MoreColor Experts please help - best neutral grey for exterior
Comments (4)Dorian Gray (cool name) looks like a good color. I also have a gray house that needs to be painted this year. I don't like blue grays and definitely not purple grays. If I have to lean towards an undertone, I prefer green, which DG appears slightly to me....See MorePaint Color Help - Need Your Expert Advice
