Industry Magazines

Actually I subscribe to both APC and Jobsite, used to do PWC as well but dropped it several years ago. I voted APC as that is the one I tout the most.

Well, just so everyone knows you can vote for more than one.

I get all of the magazines listed, plus SW's magazine, Cleaner Times, a local construction magazine, and a local business magazine. I used to get a roofing magazine.

Oops, I forgot the Sherwin Williams magazine. I added it to the poll and added a vote for you. Thanks.

I do not subscribe to any mags, should i? i flip through a few every now and again when i get stuck in a paint store for to long.
I was unable to take the poll.

Oh i definetly take my job seriously. It's just that i stopped doing remodel years ago, and with new construction you get in the valley of work. I would'nt mind seeing new product tests and different ideas. What mag has the best overall rating?
Edit: suggestions?

I read American Painting Contractor. I just subscribed , but the first one I received was really informative.The article I found interesting deals with contracts. I need to look into getting another mag or two. Happy painting!

I subscribe to many of the above but find APC to be very good at covering a wide range of topics for both new and experienced painters. Sometimes even looking at all of the pictures and detailed schematics of equipment might be a useful tool.

:no:
I too, do not get these, but do get them for striping, which is what I do.

I just put out my first edition of Aussie Painting Contractor online magazine and would really like some feedback for the next edition.
Thanks,

Get in touch with Vermontpainter and RCP. You'll be glad you did.

I get APC, the PDCA mag, Coatings World, SW Painting Contractor, and i think that's it.

Good topic, for a necro thread!
The Paint Dealer, I don't subscribe to that one, but do subscribe to the sister site, The Paint Contractor, where I have a regular column:whistling2:

I also subscribe to D and D, their online bulletins are pretty good.

Do you guys like the hard copies or online better?
