PPG Porter Paints

Porter has great interior paint, but don’t ever buy Acri-​shield exterior for cedar fence. They say it is a all-​in-​one formula, meaning primer is in the paint, but then they try to use that as an excuse if the paint fails and peels, cracks, splits etc. I have always loved Porter, and put it on many homes I have built and remodeled. I will not use them ever again, unless they stop acting like this product did not fail after a year and refund me for the extra paint I had to purchase

So, I am high maintenance when it comes to paint colors. It takes me weeks sometimes to choose just the right one… and I want it to look like it should. I know there are plenty of less expensive paint choices out there that brag they can do it all, but let’s be honest, we all know that’s not true. Quality paint is important, especially in a forever home, especially when you are using bold bright colors… Some paint that is cheap ends up costing more b/​c …you have to buy five gallons to cover a 12×12 room.
This is unnecessary with Porter. We used their Bing Cherry which is a bold deep red in our condo with very high ceilings and not only did it last and last and look beautiful for five years, it didn’t fade or take more than 2 coats to make it look perfect.
We just bought a house and I haven’t been in a Porter in years, but the last two days, I have spent a LOT of time in there choosing colors and working with their people to figure out what I want, how much I need and what is the best paint for us. I have had nothing but great experiences working with three different employees. Yesterday, I requested a color that they no longer sell and they gladly pulled it up, mixed it in less than ten minutes, and then assisted me in choosing a ceiling color to compliment it.
I decided on two other colors that I found at other stores and took those back today. It takes some time but they were happy to match it and she also told me to come home and print off their 15% off coupon so I could save some money. When comparing, with the 15%, it is exactly the same as the paint at Home Depot, so I say… why not get the best for the same price?
Seems like a no brainer to me and I know the paint will look how I want on the wall. That is the most important thing, without buying 5 gallons… b/​c mama ain’t got that kind of time to paint! :)
Don’t skimp on the paint!
