go cheap on the paint, and premium on the masking tape and brushes man. Water-based paint is mostly all the same, it's the technique that will give you a good result and quality tape and brushes make that way easier
Wait for a sale on good paint. Good coverage is worth it.
Any suggestions? I guess what I'm hoping for is the try a Ryobi or Kobalt product as opposed to paying a DeWalt or Craftsman price. Depending on the time period. Thankfully I don't have stucco? Ceilings here and don't plan to do the ceiling unless it has to match an absurd try, but I figure others have tried many more paints than I have, since I haven't bought indoor paint in 10 years
Sherwin Williams is great paint and they do a 40% off sale a couple times a year.
Some sherwin williams is great paint. Over the years, they have introduced multiple lines of paint in the "budget" tier that are absolutely terrible paints.
Unfortunately, in my experience with paint, cheap paint really isn't all that cheap. You will either end up paying in extra time or extra paint, and often in both.
I believe it. I always splurge on paint because even the expensive stuff is relatively cheap when it comes to home projects, and painting is a pain in the ass and I don’t want to work any harder than I have to.
That right there I never thought of. Thanks mate. That sounds like a great idea
Go to home depot when they have wrong mixes or customer returns, I got a bucket for the price of one gallon
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
