Paint

Well I haven't done that yet lol

put the paint on upside down ha ha,going have to remember that one.my dad once put my bedroom paper in the bathroom.my mum and i couldnt stop laughing

hahahaha yes my dearest Friend Rainbow is full of tricks and good advise to me like that lol she is Great

Yes I think so to lol

You could go one better and only use really cheap, white "economy paint" and stain it to your own designer colour. The stainers are not very expensive and last for a lot of pots! I thought of that after i posted the last time :-)

Well Blondie did that once and I guess I didn't mix it right and it came out patchy (red face) it looked quite cool actually I didn't notice till I had one wall done and my Son asked why it was patchy and of course he found it quite funny

Well thanks lol I Will just stick to the Cheap stuff

Hi Forfein first of all it is great to see you back I have not seen you for a while Yes I am suprised that Woolworth is at the top of the List I would have never thought that as you say we have these top Brands that we pay extra and then you have the Cheap brands that come Top It is unbelievable

Forfein, who makes the paint for Woolworth I wonder.... Usually any store like Walmart, Zellers, etc. that sell paint are selling for another company like CIL, Sherwin Williams Etc... For example I used to also work for Canadian Tire in my city, we sold CIL Premiere, Dutch Boy and Debbie Travis paint and before that Prat and Lambert, Martha Stewart and Premiere, just to name few. The first line of paint we carried was made by Sherwin Williams, the second line by CIL. I would laugh to myself when people would come in the store and tell me that Martha Stewart was the best paint they could get, and that they didn't like the Prat and Lambert paint or the Premier brands and that they were garbage, sad part was they were made by the same company at the time which was Sherwin Williams, they came from the same factory, same warehouse, and the only difference was the label that was applied, I even received a gallon onetime that had a premiere label stuck over the Martha Stewart label, this must have been a mistake at the factory. The only difference between the 2 brands of paint were 15.00 in price from one to the other....kinda shows that people do but for the name, and that if we were to remove the labels, 99% of the people wouldn't know the difference.

Wildguy Thank you so much for this and I will remember that for when I paint again thank you

hahahaha TerryZ I have just put the second coat on lol

Ok as long as you make Cookies I am on my Way will bring my help for breathing so I don't collaps lol

Good Job gabs, now do you want to come over I need some things painted too? Ill make you something good to eat.

Lol yes I agree with you there and I will not be spending extra Money again lol

Hey Wildguy I actually enjoy Painting lol but I am not suppose to do it and it is getting hard now to breathe lol when I paint so I really don't do it anymore My Son is Painter and Decorater but I would not let him do it lol

There is an old saying we have in the paint business, by cheap and get a couple years at the most, buy expensive and it lasts a lot longer, so you can buy a gallon of cheap 15.99 paint and have to do it every year or maybe two, or buy and expensive paint say 29.99 and do it every 4 to 5 years, in the long run buying expensive saves you money, and nobody likes to paint so it also saves you a lot of time and headaches.

hahahaha well never mind lol

Of the thousands of colors I have sold over the past 10 to 12 years of the paint business, beige is one of the hardest colors there is to choose. They're so many different shades that it is near impossible to pick the right one, I currently work for Home Hardware paint and any time a customer comes looking for a beige color, I give them a fan deck of beige's to take home with them. Beige color contains yellows, yellow oxide and white, BUT there is usually another color thrown in to offset the beige, these can be GREEN BLACK RED OR RAW UMBER, and the slightest of any of these colors will tint the paint to an off beige, Cloud Kicker this to me sounds like what happened to you, you may have got a beige color picked but it most likely had that little bit of green added and this is where it goes from beige on the chip to green on the wall, if you still have the paint can see if the formula label is on the top, look to see if any green was added to the formula. A true beige color will use a White Base as its mixer, then have a very small amount of Yellow some Yellow Oxide and depending on how dark the beige is will have either Black or Raw umber added. Next time you decide to have a beige color, pick the chip color out and ask the paint dealer to look the formula up for you, and get him to tell you what is in it, I do this every time I sell beige paint this way I can explain to the customer the effects the color will have on the wall when they get it home. One last thing about a beige color, it plays madness with lighting, it absorbs light as well as reflects it, so a good light is needed to achieve the best look with beige color, my personal chose when using beige is to have Daylight bulbs in the room where the beige is.

I am not sure actually what you mean, but the only time a wall needs sanding is: 1. if the wall has been previous painted with a glossy paint, this needs to be sanded and primed so that the topcoat will stick. 2. If painting a vanished or wood surface, the area has to be sanded and again primed, but this has to have a stain block primer applied as wood will bleed no matter what type of paint is applied, unless a tannin block primer is applied such as BIN. 3. Painting ceramic tiles or glass, the area has to be buffed with a 40 grit sanding pad or grinder, then a high adherent primer like BIN has to be applied to stick to the surface, then this can be top coated with a paint of your choice. All these areas listed should also be wiped down with a product called TSP "tri-sodium Phosphate" as this cleans the surface of all impurities and also adds a final sanding to the area, then this is wiped down with warm water, no soap. If a room takes 4 hours to paint, 3 of those hours should be for preparation, before painting.

ok wise we get it ya worked in a paint store and you have put alot of good answers in here thanks but I never read any one of these that asked did she sand first . If you are painting over something it will aways beed thru or take more coats

Yes I know Margie I will just stick to my Cheap Paint now lol

Yes that is so true Baysmummy and annoying to

Yes I have used them Rhino and I have to admit they where not that good I painted the Livingroom with it and I had to do 3 Coats

You must've struck lucky indium. Although I only used B&Q value paint (the stuff in red & white buckets) once and it was a few years ago now. I painted a bedroom for my mother and it took at least 4-5 coats.

Well thank you for this both of you

The stick drying method is not a very accurate one, the reason being that the lighting you have at home is far different than that of the store, in the store the color you see is usually the color it is supposed to be, but at home the color looks different due to the lights. Another factor of this is area, color on a swatch of 2 inch by 2 inch looks much different than an area of 8 feet by 10 feet, our eye perceives it differently and a lot of the time makes the color look darker than what we had originally thought it to be.

Well I am not suppose to use Paint because of my Lungs but I thought well if I get that one I should be ok as I won't need a second Coat well how wrong was I
