When my husband and I decided to have our living room painted, our contractor suggested using Sherwin Williams Paint.  Since I'm a big fan of Behr paint, I had never tried Sherwin-Williams before.  We went with his recommendation, and we are quite pleased with the results.

After viewing an enormous fan...

I have tried just about every type of paint on the market today, and this is by far the worst brand out there!  It is nearly impossible to get a second gallon to match up to what I bought earlier.  It never touches up.  It is also very watered down.  Even cheap paint from K-Mart didn't run off the... review »

These paints are a little pricey (but if you look around you can catch a coupon somewhere or another), but definitely worth it.  I've covered many walls with just one coat.  I love their primer.  On one occasion I needed to paint an 8 1/2 foot tall wall that was approx 9 1/2 feet wide.  I had just sheetrocked it.  The whole room was being painted in a creamy white, but that one wall was going to be midnight blue.  They recommended a (grey) tinted primer (just a quart) with just a quart of deep blue paint.  It came out beautifully!  While I was still painting (and the paint was still quite... review »

A.1000 Trusted Performance

Exterior Latex flat lv extra paint

This is a thick and creamy paint that goes on very easy; in most cases it covers in one coat.  One of the best features of the paint is the primer is already in it - this is a great time saver and important point because here in the northeast the painting season is short.

I had to match the paint on my clapboard shingle house since the paint distributor I had previously used no longer sells paint.  The Sherwin Williams sales staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.  They have the computer technology...

About two years ago, my husband and I decided that our house needed to be repainted. The contractor who did the work highly recommended Sherwin Williams paint. Since I thought that paint was basically paint, I agreed without looking into it too much. Well, that was a mistake. I have two children which means that there is a lot of handprints on the walls. The first time I tried to wipe the walls clean, I was in shock! The dirt did not come off. There are a few marks on the wall where my kids' toys have banged into them and those marks did not come off either. Now, I look at my walls and just...

S W paints is one of the biggest in the world and they didn't get that way by not taking care of business.  They have a wide line of products that will fit most painting projects.  If you have a problem they will work to resolve it and try to make it right.  In some areas of the country though there is a high turnover of personel so watch for that.  Most stores do have delivery for big orders or will suggest some contractors for your job if needed.

I love the gallon containers, they are the easiest to keep clean and the paint will stay fresher when you have left over paint. The lid will not stick so you can open it again and again without damaging the lid. It is the right consistency, thickness, and coverage. I cannot say enough about how high quality this paint is. The coverage is wonderful, so that saves time and money, not having to apply a second coat.

Sherwin Williams Duration Interior and Exterior paints are worth the extra money. They cover well, last long, are scrubbable, and most of all can be matched to any color.

We have used this paint in our 2 living rooms, 3 bedroms, 1 bathroom, hallways, nursery, and outdoor trim. We love this paint and would reccomend it to anyone who wants a quality finish.

After doing some extensive research, I found out that Dutch Boy paint is made by Sherwin Williams. Our local Wal-Mart sells the Dutch Boy product so I have decide to give it a try. I have bought Sherwin Williams paint before and it is a little pricey but well worth it. So, I am going to paint a unused bedroom with the Dutch boy brand to see how it compares with Sherwin Williams. The Dutch Boy paint costs about $16.00 per gallon, while the Sherwin Williams was about $25.00 per gallon (Hey, $9.00 is $9.00). Wish me luck! I will post the results as soon as I get to painting.

Sherwin Williams pro classic water based paint is a wonderful alternative to oil-based paints.  I have used it for many things including painting kitchen cabinets.  It stands the test of time even in this high traffic area.  It is my go to paint choice for furniture, trim, and cabinets.  I constantly recommend it to friends and family.  Not only is it durable, it also doesn't show brush strokes which is a huge bonus for water based paints.  It is a bit more expensive but worth every penny.

When you are using it, it dries quickly and you cannot go back over it to do touch ups until the paint...

I read these reviews and one of them is quite funny. It states that SW paint is thin, and it is not at all. It is actually thicker than most brands out there. It also said it was impossible to match the paint to the first gallon purchased. This obviously incorrect because at SW every color has an exact formula which makes it easy to copy a previous gallon. I know all this for a fact because I work at Sherwin Williams. I have tried cheaper paint and it is distinctly different from our paint. The Duration is particularly my favorite. It has low odor and VOCs which means it is better for the environment....

I am a painting contractor, the owner of Kulis Home Makeovers here in Hot Springs Arkansas. When it comes to painting my "high end" homes, I always choose Sherwin Williams products. THe SW paint really flows and covers well. I recently remodeled a 1950's Ranch Home across from Hot Springs Country Club. I used some really "loud colors" like Orange, Bright Yellow and Bright Blue. I first used the Sherwin Williams Wall and Wood Primer, then covered with 2 coats of color. THe boys at the SW store custom mixed primers to match each of my "loud colors". Since I was painting over white walls, the custome...

                                                         Sherwin Williams Paint!!

           I am very budget conscious, but this paint is great. It may cost more, but in the long run it's worth every penny. Great coverage, easy to clean, and so many, many colors to choose from. My house now has almost every room done with Sherwin Williams paint. Have a few left to paint yet and it will be done with this great paint.

The Everclean Flat paint and what replaced it is a great washable paint.  I have had my walls painted with it for 9 years and have kids.  I just take a little scrubbing bubble and a non fade rag and wipe it right up.  95% of the dirt and marks comes off.  I won't by any other kind of paint.

This is great paint.  Each color comes out just like the sample.  I have used it in several rooms and on several projects.  Whether it is oil paint or latex, the results are awesome!  It may cost a bit more but it is well worth it.
