Had to get some more samples of paint for my kitchen/family room. Choosing paint is without a doubt the hardest decision in remodeling. I can see why most people just go with various shades of white! I want a few variations of color so got another 10 little sample paints from Cox Paint. All of the guys there are very helpful, they have a good sense of what goes with what. One of the colors I chose was one of the most popular colors they sell, so hopefully that will look good. Frank at the Santa Monica store is the genius with color, but didn't have time to get over there. Chose colors from the Benjamin Moore color chart, though my designer says that Pratt Lambert is really the best.

Car ruined. Thanks Cox for making me rebuy the paint due to your incompetence.

Not a bad place if you don't mind paying a 25 percent markup. Salesperson could care less either.

The coupon is a complete rip off. It cost more to use the coupon than to just get the contractor price. Would not shop there again

I wish I read the reviews before going here as it seems they have a reputation for robbing people…read moreblind. I went in a few days ago and ordered 5 gallons of Benjamin Moore paint. A day or two later I had to go back for an additional 5 gallons - no big deal right? I go up to the front and order 5 gallons of the Regal grade paint in the color that I wanted. Guy says ok and walks away. I'm taking care of stuff on my phone and another guy comes and takes my payment. Before I know it they are rolling out my mixed paint.... in the WRONG finish. I hesitate and say that I needed it in Matte as I did before. They never asked me the finish. The guy said he remembered what I got the day before and that I was wrong so I call my handyman and have him confirm that what we had was matte, and it was. THEN the guy changes his story and said they did ask me and I asked for eggshell - which is laughable because even in a distracted state I would NEVERRRRRRR say eggshell. At this point he's arguing and gaslighting me so I take a moment and think, ok, let's dial this back and ask if there is something we can work out. I understand this is a business and regardless of who is at fault (him) maybe we could work something out. But he doubles down and his voice is raised and shaking and saying that I asked for eggshell. At this point I know he is lying because, to reiterate: A) they never asked B) I would NEVER get eggshell for this project and C) he is trembling with rage and honestly - that tells me all I need to know. So is this a scam they run to get people to pay for stuff? What else could it be? I left the paint there and went to another store and guess what? They asked what finish I wanted. I told them what happened and even they said woah... someone there fucked up. I want to make it clear that I left because I was robbed and felt unsafe from the lunatic lying through is ever loving teeth. That's over $300 down the drain because someone failed to do their job correctly and then had the audacity to try to pin it on me. Don't spend your money there because you will regret it.

Previously, the staff had been helpful - That all changed on my most recent visit. I had purchased a quart of black, custom color match paint. When I picked it up, there was no color dot indicator on the lid, but I didn't think much of it. However, when I recently opened it to start a new project, I discovered that instead of giving me the black paint I had purchased, I had received a quart of white paint. I brought it back to the store with my original color sample asking to have it remixed. I was met by not only annoyance but also accusations. The same employee, who had previously feigned a polite demeanor, was now accusing me of putting other paint in their container? This was a brand new container, & I had not tampered with the paint. His response was so bizarre and unwarranted. I understand that people make mistakes, but to be unwilling to accept any responsibility and to make such wild accusations is completely unacceptable. I insisted that they had clearly given me someone else's paint, to which he replied, "Go Fuck Yourself." You can tell a lot about a person by how they behave when there is a problem. I suspect that I'm not alone in complaining about receiving the wrong paint. If you are a woman, be warned as this "family owned" store seems to operate under the impression they can talk and treat you with complete and utter disregard.

Parking can be a bit of a test depending on the time of day, but the quality and huge selection of products combined with the level of customer service more than make up for it tenfold.

Disappointed, angry and caused me to lose $55 on a job. I…read morewill never go back. I came here to my neighborhood store thinking they would be better than a big box home store, boy was I wrong. I was advised on the type of paint for the application I needed and I told the guy, Jason Ha, I needed it to be black for some entry steps of a building. I he told me to pick a paper sample of the color i wanted so i picked "black" and gave it to him. He tinted the paint and when he dipped the sample on the top of the lid I asked if that was black, since it looked gray/green. He assured me twice "it would dry black". I figured this was a pro store so they would know and took Jason's word for it and I paid the $55 for the gallon for my client. The paint went on a grayish green color and I figured in 24 hours it would dry black. It did did not. It was a weird olive green. To correct this for the client and finish the job, I went to Home Depot and got black; real black, the sample even looked black when it was wet, it was definitely black. I returned with the half gallon to Vista because I wanted the guy to know he did not give me black paint and I hoped they could give me a credit or something, or at least be considerate since I could not charge the client for it! Now I know stores don't take back paint, but he tinted it, labeled it 'black" and assured me it was black, I think he really made the mistake so I needed to have it made right. I showed him photos of the "black' he gave me next to the Home depot Black....but Jason Ha was adamant that this was the color I GAVE him and it is my fault and that there are "many shades of black". I agree with that, there ARE many different types of black, but GREEN isn't one of them! So I'm out $55 bucks and the guy at the store was a total dick. Hopefully this review will stop some people from spending their money at Vista Paint. Just go to Home Depot, they get it right and treat customers properly.
