Anyone tried the new ceiling paint from S/W, Visible Solutions?
My rep. demoed 4 gallons to me I used 2 and have 2 to give away! lol I didn't care for it at all. Goes on purple dries a bright white, painted okay, seemed to have a very chaulky feel to it, showed overlapping of paint big time, even with second coat. Didn't touch up well either, again showed overlapping.
Just curious what other's experienced.

No experience here and with your review, I don't think I'll mess with it. Thanks for the heads up.

Haven't tried it... and won't.

I have heard it's for the homeowner not so much for the painter.

I was in the store one day while the SW employee was trying to exlpain the difference between the Visible Solutions and a standard white paint... He wasn't so confident in the Visible Solutions and lost the sale to a standard PM 400 flat. LOL... I sorta chuckled...

Yeah, it's made and marketed to a DIY'er. I don't think I need to see purple paint to show where I've rolled or not.

Run!
I went in on Thursday to get Style Perfect But the Rep. talked me into try the Visible Solutions for free. And i did. That was the worst paint i had ever used.I have to go back and get Style Perrfect to finished up the job. I wasted two hours of my time and I am still mad at myself for being a sucker.

I used it once on a textured bedroom ceiling last year just for fun. My store guy told me folks were having trouble getting good coverage with it but he attributed it to diy-er inexperience. I kinda agree that it doesn't seem like a terribly good paint. Didn't have any problems though.

Paint Whisperer,
What is this "Style Perfect" you referred to? Haven't heard of it.

Out of the loop in Carolina!

It is a ceiling paint that you can get at S/W.




By the way, I am in Charleston, SC for Vac. with my family. This is a very nice city....We are having a great time!

My customer called this week, we had used the Visible Solutions on one of her ceilings, she says it looks like cat tracks on the ceiling! Going to look at it this week end. I too am mad at myself for trying this crappy stuff! First call back I've had in a long long time.
