Does anyone have experience with Restoration Hardware paint?
I have a job that I am doing and the home owner wanted me to use Restoration Hardware brand paint. It has turned into a nightmare. All the spackle lines came out. When I try and fix it the paint rolls on in a diff shade. To top that off I am going through 3x the amount of paint that I have ever gone through with any other brand I have ever worked with.
Someone please help I am at a complete loss.

The nice thing about paint is that you can almost always re-do it!

In response to using the customer's paint:

I am usually agreeable to use whatever the customer insists on using, but communicate with them that they are not the paints I typically use, and therefore I am not as familiar with how they handle, or any idiosyncrasies they may exhibit, etc...

I also disclaim any liability associated with using paints that I am not familiar; That includes extra time and material that may be the result. I think this is a fair and reasonable policy, and the customer who insists on using their own paint, will likely not be surprised by it.

sounds like another of those super ultra high dollar exclusive colors yak,yak,yak paint brands that are just crappy paint in a fancy label. The label and can probably cost more than the paint in the can. That whole part of the industry pisses me the f*ck off! You probably would have been better off using behr.

Sounds like the C2 brand a client requested for their 10K sq ft house I did a few years ago, having purchased all the paint for the entire house.

After only the 2nd day into finish I ended up repackaging all the material and leaving it curbside with a big “Free Paint” sign, switching over to Moore’s..charging the client..I’ll admit that the C2 colors were really nice but Moore’s was able to cross reference all the colors to BM products. What was lost in material expense was saved in labor by switching to Moore’s.
