If you need to match exterior house paint...

Need some touch up paint for my house, took it over to Sherwin Williams, crazy busy, one guy working, left and went to Home Depot...OMG never again, what I got was pink...when I took it back, guy said that what the computer says that color is...wonderful...it's not pink btw.

His suggestion was for ME to mix in a little brown to get it closer..what the heck do I know about mixing paint? If I KNEW how to mix paint I surly wouldn't have taken it to HD.

I think I understand why Sherwin Williams is so busy...back there tomorrow.

My wife and I got Morocco Red... we asked for Moroccan Red. BIG difference. My wife was in tears... I was pissed. Go back and ask for the manager of the paint dept, I got some of my $ back along with the right color.

One more for Kelly Moore, I painted the outside of our house with paint from them.I tried Sherwin Williams , Home depot and Osh for other painting jobs and the quality of paint and the experince of the people did not come close to KM.

I work at an Interior Design firm, and most of the time we specify Benjamin Moore for our jobs. If we don't specify Benjamin Moore, we specify Kelly Moore.

+213213 for Kelly Moore. Best paint by far. And if you bull**** with them they usually can hook it up. The Dura Proxy is so amazing, you could paint dirt outside your house in the ground and it would dry and stay in 10 minutes.
