Commercials for bear, sherman williams, etc show up around and everyone sees them eventually. Has anyone actually found a cheap paint that covers well and looks nice (water based for indoor) that is cheap and worth the idea of experimenting or doing a room that you know you will have to repaint white later before you move out. Been here 4 years, no real plans of leaving, fuck I put a chicken coop out back a near 2 years ago… but I know a day will come when they say “hey your rent is going up drastically or you can’t have pets or something”
Sadly they switched from year leases to month to month 3 years ago (after the first year) but I figure at some point maybe it is worth just painting something to make it more homeish than damnit I’m still here

Wait for a sale on good paint. Good coverage is worth it.
Any suggestions? I guess what I’m hoping for is the try a Ryobi or Kobalt product as opposed to paying a DeWalt or Craftsman price. Depending on the time period. Thankfully I don’t have stucco? Ceilings here and don’t plan to do the ceiling unless it has to match an absurd try, but I figure others have tried many more paints than I have, since I haven’t bought indoor paint in 10 years
Sherwin Williams is great paint and they do a 40% off sale a couple times a year.
That right there I never thought of. Thanks mate. That sounds like a great idea
Some sherwin williams is great paint. Over the years, they have introduced multiple lines of paint in the “budget” tier that are absolutely terrible paints.
Unfortunately, in my experience with paint, cheap paint really isn’t all that cheap. You will either end up paying in extra time or extra paint, and often in both.
I believe it. I always splurge on paint because even the expensive stuff is relatively cheap when it comes to home projects, and painting is a pain in the ass and I don’t want to work any harder than I have to.
Go to home depot when they have wrong mixes or customer returns, I got a bucket for the price of one gallon
go cheap on the paint, and premium on the masking tape and brushes man. Water-based paint is mostly all the same, it’s the technique that will give you a good result and quality tape and brushes make that way easier
