TIL Sherwin-Williams paint samples are not real paint
Does everyone already know this? I have shopped at Sherwin-Williams for almost 10 years, and today was the first time an associate explained to me their paint samples are not real paint, lacking the binders and resins that allow paint to last so long. And they only told me because I asked for a color match. The associate asked if I wanted it for touchup paint or sample paint and I asked what the difference was. He said ‘sample paint is not real paint.’ He said this is noted on the side of the jug, which is almost always conveniently covered by your order label as you can see in the attached pics. My local hardware store will make 8 oz. Benjamin-Moore samples in any sheen or paint type you’d like, with a friendlier attitude and better stuff to look at while I’m waiting. Why was I shopping at Sherwin-Williams? submitted by /u/iLLogicaL808 [link] [comments]
