Z,
I wish I could help you with the YOLO question, my experience with testing is limited, didn't fair well at all for durability, but I know those color posters are neat. You have to be really carefull with the finish as more likely than not you will be fighting brush strokes or overspray depending on your application method. You already know what I would tell you to use....

Hi all,
1st I want you all to know, I think this site is amazing!! Nothing new for you all, but I just stumbled on this today and already Nathan has been great.
Yolo is likely to become one of the premier "green" paints on the market. I agree w/ Mythic, that it is not the best for cabinets, yet. Especially w/ dark colors. I have met the founders Yo and Lo, and they are clearly devoted to the designer, and female demographics. "Yo" is for Young, and "Lo" is for ?? I can't remember, representing their last names. Both really nice and eager to build their business thru their contractor backgrounds.
I will take this opportunity to introduce myself to those of you here. I see you are the honorary residents of this great forum.
My name is Brent, and I am a sales rep for Kelly-Moore Paints in California. I am not here to sell, but want to learn and be as helpful as I can. I have been in the paint industry for 14 years and like most of you can't seem to "get out."
For what it is worth, KM has a line of water based enamel called DuraPoxy. It dries as hard as "enamel" or oil, and actually flows like oil. Well, as good as any latex can. It is by far the premium latex enamel for cabinets/trim/casings etc., outside something like "Beyond" from Sierra Perfomance/Rust.
Thru recent acquisitions in the SE, and the spiral of the new housing market, I think Kelly-Moore took over the #1 spot in the US as it relates to privately owned paint companies. We are based in San Carlos, CA and we understand the needs of the "pot and brush" painter, and specialize in laquers, commercial, and industrial areas as well.
Blah, blah, blah....... Sorry guys. I really enjoy what I do and love my company. Check out our website and tell me what you think. We are a paint company, not web designers, so be honest.

Thx for reading my unintended novela.

Unfortunately with the Canadian market being as it is, there is limited exposure to newer products in the industry. As in most industries, products are first to appear in the US before they venture their way into Canada. Sorry I couldn't shed any light on the YOLO discussion, but here is the MSDS on the paint your using:

This should probably be started in another thread, (TimH may scold me for not searching first) The problem with CANADA is the dual label requirements. All labels need to be printed in English and French, this means that a manufacturer has to carry 2 sets of independent inventory that can not be cross sold. Really tough to swallow. I hear that a lot of companies just ignore it till caught. I am just getting into the logistics now...

Z, I am new to the site but noticed you are in the SE PA area from a few threads. I am looking for green info. Do you mind if I ask where you found the Yolo Paints? Have you had any more luck with Mythic?

yolo is trying to get in my the store here that sells C2 but he hasn't made the commitment yet, not sure if he will or not.
I would like to try mythic myself but will not pay to have it shipped to Chicago kind of hard to work with a product that has to rely on shipping as main way to receive it. I may get a gal the next time I need to do something around the house.

MAK,
I hear you on the shipping, but if you wanted to try it and liked it your influence could help the dealer you use get the product you want.
As for CANADA, I left an open issue above. We have now received clearance to ship to Canada. Having numerous dealer requests there, we will be supplying to Canadian stores now. We also shipped our first order to Dubai.
Great products grow fast!

I know the C2 dealer by me is not interested in bringing it in (Yolo or Mythic) cause of the Low Voc C2 line coming out in April. Yolo is available at a C2 dealer in downtown Chicago and a lot of designers are starting to spec green paints in the high rise jobs

Thanks Yuba, I sometimes over look the obvious.
ZPaint, if your out there, where the people at which ever local store you bought the paint knowledgeable about its application?
