SW is totally screwed so much of their stuff came from that plant

Ben Moore too correct?

Aura Interior, CC, Advance and scuffX all share a raw material that comes only from this plant BM is prioritizing scuffx in the interm so other SKUs may be short supply otherwise doesn't seem to be too affected.

I believe it is the one and only plant in usa and Canada that makes these resins we need.and yes it was the BM rep that told me this.

BM is getting the resins from another international source until they are caught back up.

My S-W rep said this week that they are backing off production of their lower end products and putting the raw materials into the Superpaint and above products. Citing a problem at their plant in Texas associated with the deep freeze, specifically their Tio2
Titanium dioxide.
He said that it would last at least thru November.
Have also heard of 20-30% increases recently with Dunn Edwards and potentially BM, but cannot confirm.
Should be an interesting time this next 6-8 months...

BM ~5% maybe in june. Last increase from BM was more than 2 years ago and a ~10% reduction on arborcoat products q4 last year.
PPG cetol/sikkens went up another 10% this year and I expect to see another increase mid summer from PPG.
