My Sherwin-Williams Paint Experience

At over 140 old, The Sherwin-Williams paint brand is one of the oldest in the United States. Not only do they have staying power, with over 1,500 paint colors to choose from, the word diversity doesn't even begin to cover their renowned line of hues. If you can visualize a color, not only will they have it, but chances are it will be available in more shades than you thought possible. These are my reminiscences of my experience with Sherwin-Williams paint.

First, with over three hundred paint stores operating, not to mention their presence at home improvement stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, and Wal-Mart, you can find Sherwin-Williams paint just about everywhere. I live in a small town with just a few thousand people and it took me about five minutes to drive to a location that stocked their paint. If you're unsure about which stores in your area stock Sherwin-Williams paint, look no further than their website, which has a handy store locater.

Next, as previously stated, their variety is fantastic. Sure, every paint store and brand has the little kiosk with strips of color selections. However, Sherwin-Williams does you one better by featuring all colors not just in their stores, but on their website as well. When you click on a color, they tell you not just the name and brand number of it, but what colors look best with it. Do you want to see how a particular shade looks in a bedroom, bathroom, or living room? Simply select your color, click on the room you'd like to see it applied to, and voila, you have a good representation of what a new paint job will look like in your home!

Last, the product itself. I could not be happier with the way my walls look. Sure, some people say paint is paint and the brand doesn't matter, and maybe that's true in the beginning. But after six months or so when other brands start to fade or crack and more coats have to be applied, take a look at walls that are covered in Sherwin-Williams paint. Barring some sort of weather catastrophe, they look the same as they did when they were first painted. However, I will admit that can be a problem. After all, isn't fading paint an excuse that many people like to use in order to re-decorate?
