I was planning to go to SW tomorrow and buy 4 gallons of paint. Now I'll got tomorrow and Tuesday and buy 2 gallons each day.

...or even better... go in buy 2 & check out, then walk back in and buy 2 more. Save ga$ money

How is the quality of their paint? What brand is it comparable to?

Thanks

I really love Sherwin-Williams paint because it takes a lot less to cover & it seems to be more durable. I have SW paint in my bathrooms & it's held up much better than the American Traditions in the living room.

I found this on the web: source

"The United Coatings subsidiary of Sherwin-Williams produces the Wal-Mart Color Place line, while Valspar makes the House Beautiful program, licensed from the magazine of the same name. Sherwin-Williams also produces the Martha Stewart line of designer paints for Kmart, as well as its Dutch Boy branded product."

And this as well: source

"Wal-Mart paint is made by United Coatings...which is owned and made by the Pratt & Lambert Paint Company... which is owned and made by the Sherwin Williams Company...(Which may or may not be the same products as is available in the SW stores)."

I went by my local SW store yesterday to buy two gallons of Duration paint. The salesperson rung up both gallons of paint and then tried to use the $10 off $50 coupon but the computer did not take it. He deleted the transaction then rang up things in this order:

1 gallon paint
$10 off $50 coupon
1 gallon paint
$10 off $50 coupon

This resulted in my getting $20 off for the transaction even though each gallon of paint was less than $50.00 each.

Thanks again for the coupon OP!

Buy their top of the line paint and it's supurb (ie like Duration). If you buy their low end paint it's mediocre. Every paint manufacturer is capable of producing a range from low end to high end paint. The technology isn't rocket science. It's all in the ingredients and price points.

I also like Pratt and Lambert and Benjamin Moore. I'd avoid the homecenter paint lines like Behr (ie Bare), Dutch Boy, etc. The most expensive paint is usually the best value. Professional painters know this but homeowners usually can't comprehend this.

I'm a painting contractor and I ALWAYS recommend SW Duration to my customers. High quality finish that lasts and environmentally friendly as well (low VOC's).

can anyone supply a current list of sherwin williams pricing? it seems like every time i buy (the same) paint it costs a different amount. i can't even find out what the shelf (retail) prices are to calculate the sale prices. i'm especially interesting in pricing for superpaint, duration and resilence. any pricing data would be MUCH appreciated.
