All they had to say was, "do you need medical attention?" and when asked about the board, "yeah this used to be a house so anyone over 6 feet tall has problems." Are you kidding?

Painter's paint store. A friend who lives nearby introduced me to this gem. I go here for stuff I…read morecannot get at the other SW stores or when I have a project nearby. For my 1952 duplex, I really wanted to remove the paint from the all-metal vintage kitchen cabinetry and expose the silver on the original cabs and add stainless appiances. Basically, I just want a silver kitchen with splashes of saturated color. Because it is in a wet area, I did not want the cabs to rust, but needed to clear-seal them. So, stripping was in order. As was a clear prophylactic for ultimate protection. For the fastest, sexiest and easiest stripping job, I found Peel Away Smart Strip. It is supposed to be "green"... at least they had green on the label. I wouldn't eat it, though. Another SW had run out of Peel Away, but this old standby had some buckets. A good stripper... I will drive across town and pay good money for that. For the clear-seal, I talked with the guys here about the best commercial application for protecting and sealing the exposed metal. His suggestion worked perfectly: Sherwin Williams Chemical Coating Opex acrylic clear metal lacquer cut 50/50 with lacquer thinner and then sprayed on in several light coats.

Stay away. We spent around $3000 on paint when this team recommended that their paint was GREAT for…read morecabinets. Only after we purchased all the paint did we realize that they recommend a 17 day cure time. This makes it almost impossible to use the paint on cabinets or paint cabinet doors on both sides. We ended up having to let the cabinets dry over a month with a fan on it as they instructed and the paint is still sticky almost 3 months later. Every time we take something out of our pantry, the paint peels off and there are indentation marks from anything remotely heavy. Photo has one small example. And no, I'm not a DIY-er who doesn't know what they're doing. We had a very professional painter do the work. He even called them multiple times to make sure he was doing everything right. We ended up having to get the paint color matched at Benjamin Moore to complete the job because we couldn't jeopardize the custom cabinets we just spent tens of thousands on. Highly recommend just doing that. And silk and sage refuses to return our unused gallons. Don't believe them. Maybe their paint is better for the art in their store and maybe walls but not for actual use in real home projects.

But the kicker is that I needed a pint but they said because of "supply" issues they could only sell by the gallon. How convenient. This "supply" issue is an old worn out excuse for highway robbery. I see car dealerships with tons of cars now and yet here this paint company gives that excuse. If they no longer have the formula which BTW was a PP product and all they can do is match at at the price of a gallon go someplace that won't "force" you to buy a gallon and who can also match it for less than a gallon. I will never ever go back there. I might as well throw money out on my lawn.

This store is pretty large and they have an especially good selection of paints and accessories. They also have an incredibly attentive and helpful staff. Two employees there are paint match experts, and will do a match that is as close as you can get to exact if you give them a couple of hours. I needed something quickly since the contractors were at my house waiting, and he used the computer to get a color match that convinced me, at least, that it was perfect. So imo, even their quick match job is as good as that other paint store that covers the world. They're open 7-5:30 M-S and closed Sunday at this location. Parking is available in the adjacent lot.
