If you have the customers buy the paint too that will save more eating of profits. :jester:

Sometimes letting the customer buy the paint can be a problem. They either buy total crap paint or not enough paint. And I know you can tell them how much paint to buy, but if you tell them a gallon over, they may be pissed at you for getting stuck with an unused gallon of paint...

Groan... without a doubt the subject of Behr and Home Depot has been the most vehemently and persistently discussed topic I've seen on PT since I became an active participant last year. It's bloody and apparently lifeless corpse is regular disinterred, put on public display to be reviled or worshiped, and then gets quietly dragged away to be temporarily reburied for a time. Eventually, however, someone once again gets a hold of a shovel.

Let's face it, in spite of all the talk, peoples' minds aren't going to be changed. If you like Behr now and think it's a good deal and the salvation of your company, no hater is going to change your mind. For the haters, all the positive observations in the world aren't going to get you to start using it on a regular basis.

I suspect that deep down inside the guys using it feel a bit uncomfortable because they think it does negatively affect their professional image. Likewise, the haters don't really hate it all that much but still won't consider using it out of principle and stubbornness. So, emotions continue to flare and endless opinions are put forth every time it's brought up again.

I know I've really gotten to where I don't care anymore (not that I ever did) and I'll exercise my free will and avoid these threads from now on. Others can carry on the crusade as they wish, but for me I say bring on something new and original - like, "What's the best brush for cutting in?"

Plain and simple, my penis felt half size whenever I've gone into HD and bought paint. Plus it usually takes longer to procure the materials than my goto stores.

You might want to schedule a stop off afterwards at a Hooters for a burger and a beverage to feel like a man again. :yes:

IMO, Benjamin Moore & Sherwin Williams are extremely over priced paints. "You are paying for the 'name' their over head costs and the hype".

I wouldn't be surprised if Behr paints are made by Sherwin Williams, with a Behr label slapped on it! Wouldn't that be a pisser?

I totally agree with you, name, over head costs, hype and avoiding all the clowns at the HD. Not having to be hassled by a dozen guys outside that dont speak english and are looking for word and point at you paint like a bunch of morons.

Behr and Home Depot have revolutionized the painting industry. Its a one stop shop for paint and cheap labor. You can walk in, load up your truck with some 5/hr guys and blow out a house in one day. :thumbsup:
