Here is yet another SW bash story.

Started an exterior early last week. The owner really struggled to pick a color and even when she had her mind made up I only bought 2 gallons and sprayed parts of the front of the house because it wasn't a very nice color. She came home and said she loved it.
OK good enough for me. I bought the rest of the material at a different store and as we're finishing the house I notice the new paint isn't even close to the original gallons
The second pic is woodscapes on the bottom, Superpaint on the top. I expected a slight difference between the SP and woodcapes but come on

Well different products do have different bases, but usually they'll tell you that.

I did a job a few months ago, 3 different products 3 different cloud whites. The nice thing was they were all for different areas.

Sorry, the front stairs are SP, both colors.

So I've been using SP satin on this exterior the last two weeks. I didn't look at the receipts figuring the soup was running mid $30's, maybe $37 a gallon. Talking with my boss, we then look at how much he's been paying.... supposedly on discout for us at $48.69. SW said that's our discounted price and retail is at $55. I was "WHAAAAAT?, no way" somethings gotta change there or the store we buy from will change real soon, to Miller/KM or BM.

Rep will get it to mid 30s for you.

I use Miller "Evolution" It's a great product. It's their best exterior paint. :thumbsup: A step down would be Acrolite which I feel is comparible to Super Paint. Find a local store and ask for who the rep is and set up an appointment with him to go over pricing and which products would suit your needs. I used SW for 30 years and switched to Miller a couple summers back. My only regret is that I didn't do it a long time ago

Tint ur primer towards the brown next time. And ur done today. Do something else tomoro. A extra coat is a big deal to me.

It covered, but (Jr.Sr.) knows how much better a second coat improves, strength and quality of the paint job. Plus two coats makes it more solid in color, and gives peace of mind of getting those gaps with no holidays. Mt company lately doesn't do really high end stuff, just above average repaints, and we strive for two coats.

Makes first coat easier and ya really don't have to go around looking for light spots or holidays in the tight areas.

We're doing white trim over existing white trim on this job, it looks okay but we know our first coat is semi trans without being able to tell. So I am doubling everything..

there is too many chances for missed spots on aged cedar shakes it's not worth it to me. The job was quoted for two so I have no problem doing a second coat
