Sherwin-Williams Commercial Paint Store

This is a commercial paint store. Thay being said, I walked in as a confused consumer with a 4 year old. I walked out with the perfect paint for my daughter’s pink walls and pink concrete floor. They were extremely helpful and friendly. There is a coffee shop 2 doors down too where you can look at paint colors or wait for them to be mixed. I found that to be helpful.

Painter’s paint store. A friend who lives nearby introduced me to this gem. I go here for stuff I cannot 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.
