LOWE'S

Not the place to buy your paint. #Shudder All their Olympic brand white paint must be mixed. As it is mixed, it's "Nonrefundable." They offer no stock white semi-gloss or gloss. I've two gallons of white semi-gloss from them: one is fine, the other, used for a second coat ,produced contrasting roller stripes of a light gray tincture. Lowe's offered to mix a third can (!) of white Olympic semi-gloss for me, at my expense. The paint manager had nothing to say when I responded I didn't need a third gallon of non-matching white semi-gloss, and refused to refund what I'd paid for the botched batch. "It's nonrefundable." Indeed. Happily, there's venerable, family-owned hardware store down the street with stock white gloss and semi-gloss, on the shelves, just like Back in The Day. (I'm not going to even mention Lowe's attempt to match a blue exterior latex to a chip. Yes, also non refundable.)
