Thanks for the note - Is cloverdale usually cheaper than those other two?

Painters love Cloverdale because it's cheap and they can mark it up a lot. Here's the thing, I find a lot of painters will thin the fuck out of it - About Painting is notorious for this.

BM and SW they're forced to get the cans just like you and I get so they can't chug a whole bottle of thinner into it.

I like BM paint a lot. Great colour selection and it holds up really well to cleaning.

The paint will not make a material difference to the cost. I had the exterior painted and upcharging to the highest BM paint cost me like $180.

Well we are painting ourselves so I suppose we might as well go with BM then

I'm always happy with the results of everything from there, interior paint to deck stains.

I even used left over solid colour fence stain on previously painted cinderblock and it's been holding up fine 5 years later, even with regular pressure washings.

Absolutely go with BM in your case. You save very little buying cheaper paint. But if you do want to spend less Behr is very, very good. Everything else they sell at HD, Lowes etc is utter crap and should be avoided.

Yes, we used Behr from Home Depot a few times when we first moved into our house and it was terrible, terrible paint.

Behr is basically the best budget paint you can buy. Paint is not one of those things you want to skimp on.

Ooooook time for a thread split

Never buy paint from a big box store that doesn't specialize in paint. Brother in law is a painter and absolutely hates when people say " I bought the paint fir you" and it ends up canadian tire shit.

Picked up some boxers yesterday and am going to order a ski suit today.
Also looking at picking up this or something similar for my daughter.

Could be, we don't do exterior paint other than direct to metal and block-fill, each of which perform well. I know their exterior stain is terrible.

Completely false. Source? We buy about 8-10,000 gallons a year more than you'll ever use in your life. I don't know, I'm not a painter we just have many on staff. They can buy whatever paint they want which is 100% based on what they prefer to work with, the amount of painter's who voluntarily choose to work with SW on our staff is zero. And it doesn't matter how hard their rep tries to entice them with freebies to them or how steep they discount to us, the guys don't like using it. That's what my opinion is based on. YMMV of course.

BM is fine, but again most of our guys will defer to Cloverdale unless designer spec insists on BM and won't accept colour matches.

I can assume the best approach is just to take it home and throw it straight in the garbage, that way you don't waste time unwrapping and mounting it before it fails immediately.

Someone in that thread called all Calgary RCSS. None carries it. London Drugs may but I doubt they'll price match.

There are really good LED tvs for cheap, I don't know why you'd want a cheap OLED that will absolutely suffer from burn in and likely have terrible brightness (so only useable in dark rooms). Seems to me like a product with no purpose, but I am interested in what a use case for it may be if someone has one?

If all OLED burn-in as monitors, you want to pay $1500 for a 48" C1 or $450 for a 55" Skyworth.

There are a lot of unscrupulous painters. A lot. I think you care so you're simply not going to encounter them. I already mentioned About Painting. Guess who thinned the paint when they painted my interior?

Yeah I know, SW does have the big containers. I didn't bother to correct because I don't really give a shit and because poster was going to paint himself.

Which budget paint do you like? My BIL used the stuff at Lowes, it was utter shit, he had to put on six coats, that was with the tinted primer. CT? HH?
