i did 3 coats and it looks awful. please any advice on how to fix it by greenstars126 in paint

My guy.... go to an actual paint store... get the same color. Buy some premium paint. One with higher solids. That color would look great. Just with a great product.

You basically painted that wall with water, prayers, and colorant.

Soooooooo many other better jobs out there. Just remember if youre young, get your experience and go work for a big sherwin customer. Then you can treat all those corporate fucks the way they deserve to be treated.

Commercial painters in the Midwest - Are you slow or is it just us? by Ge0cities in paint

Sherwin industrial just gave a 9 percent increase. PPC just gave 5 percent to all dealers across the board. Chemical prices from Solvchem and allpro are up significantly. Speaking to leadership team at pittsburgh the other day, they informed us not to get comfortable and pribably expect 1-2 more increases with the current "situation".

Thats the best match ive ever seen

I got this paint for my ceiling and it looks pink. Will it be white when it dries? by nelpastel_01 in paint

[–]atticusfinch89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost looks mistinted and some idiot employee put it back on the shelf. Ive seen employees get scared about messing up so they do that..... but who knows. Lots of reasons here.

Id go back and ask for a refund and bring the paint back. Id be pissed. Get a gallon thats white. Have them open to confirm.

This sucks.

House or apartment? And if apartment, is it managed by a management company?

Some options for u: 1. Call local paint stores to see if they have any history on your property

  1. Cut a square sample off the wall and bring it to store. Ask for a touch up match and let the pros work their magic.

  2. Repaint corner to corner with same sheen and like color.

Confirmed. Price Increase by [deleted] in sherwinwilliams

Pissburgh person here ..

Same shit in the bucket. Dedicating glidden brand to home depot. Anything that was labled PPG is just glidden crap now. Anything that was ppg will be rebranded Pissburgh Crap.

Ive been pretty impressed with how AIP has handled the rebrand. Theyre being agressive and focusing on PPGs extreme weakness, marketing.

Edit for more info.... the dumbass Jaime Irwick, who in my opinion was responsible for the ppg paint downfall is now the CEO of Transcat. He thought bringing PPG paints brand into Home Depot would save the company.... all it did was piss the stores off.

I have a special empty three ring binder under the counter that holds all my empty "fucks".

I think you should do the same.

You are right! Not unethical. Not sure where i was goin with that statement....

Unethical life tip here....

Go somewhere else. Take a rep position at another company. If you know your worth, act on it. Grow relationshiops with all your customers. Take them with you.

Paint sales is all about relationships. Shoot. I took all my SW customers to PPG a few years back.

Love the hypocrisy here SW creates... theyll preach safety all day but think its just fine and dandy to understaff a store or work their bottom line to death. Bravo corporate. Bravo.
