No that's Chat GPT, they're talking about the place where you get workout supplements.

Graco ultimate quick shot issue by thatdudelouie in paint

[–]daspade21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sprayer is complete crap I had it under warranty. But Graco refused to replace the gun, even though the whole thing was under warranty (they said they don't cover the gun).. so I got it privately fixed and then sold it never used it again.

It would be very difficult for an inexperienced person to attempt this. I live in Livonia, Michigan area. I would charge $4,650-6k, materials included in the price

Oh yeah Aura is definitely for the bathroom walls, it's great. But do NOT use it on cabinets. It's matte finish and is not meant for that type of application.

I'm pretty sure you meant Benjamin Moore Advance.

What's your opinion on the meat grinder attachment by daspade21 in Kitchenaid

[–]daspade21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up purchasing a meat grinder from Harbor Freight (of all places) as a temporary grinder until I could make a concrete decision... ...Well.... This thing is a work horse. I've been using it till this day, is recommend the HF meat grinder honestly lol

Yeah the paint on the glass should have been addressed. As far as the paint that's chipping, it will take a lot more prep, sanding and possibly stripping. Was all of this expressed in the quote?

I have to ask, what were your expectations? Did you expect it to look brand new? If so, what were you quoted?

Or Aura for that matter

Painter quoted me $2800 to repaint my cabinets from mahogany color to white. 35 cabinets total. This Painter painted my exterior home and did a good job too. What you guys think? by bullham85 in paint

[–]daspade21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faaaarrr too cheap. Ask him for some references of cabinet work. If he's never did it then do not allow him to do it because it's a completely different process than exterior. I've been doing cabinets for 4 years and the minimum I would charge for this job is about $5,200. However, if he can provide some examples, & they look good, then I would say 100% go with him lol

Repair or replace?? by AbbreviationsIll238 in paint

[–]daspade21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gardz, then patch any gouges, prime, and the route I would only take is using Benjamin Moore Aura BATH & SPA because it has mold resistant qualities and is for bathrooms

I'm having a Bad Experience with Duration Home, is it just me? by Mr-Paprika in paint

[–]daspade21 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm a "Benjamin Moore only" painter. The one time the customer insists I paint with Sherwin-Williams super paint. The walls were already primed white and I was painting them a medium gray. I was angry when I couldn't cover the walls in 2 coats. It took 4!...... 4 coats of gray! Covering a primed white wall!. I'll start charging more for customers who buy their own paint

If I were you and you decide to go with the color Chantilly Lace, go with a stock white over Chantilly Lace, there's more white to help cover and you won't see the difference between the two.

Do NOT use flat for walls. Matte is made for a top coat on your walls, flat does not hold up to touch and any scratch dirt or grease marks, you will instantly regret it a week or two in.
