Where's the home improvement forum up in this bitch?

[Dinsdale]

You've dodged a simple question since you're a "professional" and all.

Like when I asked you to cite examples of these "KC" things you (falsely) made claims of?

Tell you what, Stockboy -- tell me what YOU think is appropriate for covering tough interior (heaven forbid real substrates, like CMU and whatnot) stains, so I can laugh at you.

Get a clue, dumbfuck -- chances are, the product I select for such an application is unlikely to be available at Home Depot... which has been the funny the whole time.

You are everything that's wrong with Home Depot.


Tell you what -- I'll answer your question after you answer mine...

What's the maximum allowable cut of multiple-component polyeurethane, and at what spread rate are they typically applied, both in WFT and DFT (basic math)?


They taught you that in those 30 minutes at "The D," right?



Fucking clown.

Holy Christ, AP… way to take the weak side 3 man cover shallow Dins blitz deep into your A-gap. And thanks for remembering to make it fun for the clones.

[Goober McTuber]

I’m partial to that egg shell... color scheme for walls.

Screwball -- You might think twice before taking any advice from someone who thinks "eggshell" is a paint color.

Dinsdale, you're full of fucking shit. As per usual.

Sincerely,

Benjamin Moore

It can be a color or a sheen.

BTW, I believe Dinsdale also has experience in this area. He will probably contradict everything I’ve said.

[ucantdoitdoggieSTyle2]

Is it possible to get a BM eggshell in a satin... or will AP's head explode?


Wait... they don't sell BM paints at HD, right?

Dins, what kind of paint should we use that isn't junk?

Do you really want to use a product made by someone as fuck-all stupid as to do that (and pay twice as much for said product-BTW)?

That was just one example. Eggshell is both a color and a sheen. Have you ever in your miserable existence admitted to an error?

I'd say it's Ben Moore's turn to admit to an error.

When you paint with "eggshell" color, do you trim it out with the color "latex"?

Go with 3 walls in the color "primer," and use that subtle hue known as "caulking" as an accent?


Fucking stupid.

[Dinsdale]

My guess is whatever paint is manufactured in Oregon.

Goobs alluded to a Up-and Middle brand...

Many of the better house paints (and better values) are distributed regionally, rather than nationally.

That's fine. I'll make it myself if it's that much better and not junk.

[Dinsdale]

And as faras coating basic drywall -- if it's the right color, doesn't fall off, and doesn't take 12 coats to cover, then it's freaking fine, regardless the name on the can.

Ain't exactly submerged service shit or anything.

Dins gave a pretty good description of good paint. It is sticks and you are happy with the color.....it's good. In casa de smackaholic, the interior decorator (OL) changes paint colors often, so it really doesn't fukking matter how good it is. Buy good shit.

Too bad he doesn't know the definition of egg shell, which as BM and goobs pointed out, is both a color and a sheen.

As for painting a room burgundy.....real bad idea. I tried a similar hue once. Funny how a very pretty color becomes not so much when you do it in an entire room. You might want to see if you can incorporate it the trim somewhere or maybe even tone it down by mixing it with white.

As for what I use, I like going to sears hardware and see what they have in the return rack. Sometimes you get something you want. Some times you can take something off this rack, bring it over to the paint mixer dude and saygive it a squirt of black pigment and see what happens. You experiment until you find something that works and go with it. My dinning room currently wears an awesome looking pumpkin like color that is the result of me mixing together shit i had in the basement. There is no point, IMO to go to the paint store and pay $$$$$ for a custom mixed color when there is already a shelf full of the same shit in a slightly different color which can be further modded into yet another.

a squirt of black pigment

That would bring a smile to my face!

i just knew someone would bite on "squirt of black pigment".

I was gonna say, a light or rust-ish orange could be good, right?
