Matching Paint to Surfaces
Sherwin Williams
To ensure a quality paint job that will last, the paint you'll use depends on the type of surface you want to paint.
Walls - Because it's easy to work with, latex paint is an excellent choice for do-it-yourself projects. Latex paints can be applied over properly prepared wood, vinyl, aluminum and stucco.
Metal - Use either latex or oil/alkyd paint on properly primed iron or steel. You can apply latex directly on aluminum and galvanized metal. However, these metals need to be properly primed if you're using oil/alkyd-based paint.
Trim - Either latex or oil/alkyd paint is appropriate for trim. Gloss and high gloss finishes are generally your first choice, but flat or satin finishes are fine selections.
Masonry - H&C® Concrete Stains and Sealers and Loxon® Coatings are excellent for protecting and beautifying masonry and brickwork.

Interior Primers
Interior Primers
Premium Wall & Wood Primer
If you’re looking for a top-of-the-line interior primer, you can’t do better than this. Our Premium Wall & Wood Primer is the perfect choice for showcase rooms such as dining rooms, living rooms, or wherever you want the finest, most luxurious finish.
Assures professional results on wood trim, doors and walls – and provides the smoothest finish on decorative surfaces like crown molding and window and door casings
Allows the finish coat to develop a full and consistent sheen and offers exceptional ability to maintain topcoat gloss.
Ideal for use under ProClassic® and Cashmere® topcoats
Multi-Purpose Latex Primer
A general-utility primer ideal for both interior and exterior applications. Its wide versatility and strong adhesion properties make it a universal favorite – plus it works without the solvent odors and high VOCs common with most stain-blocking primers.
Adheres tightly to glossy paint and paneling, and difficult surfaces like PVC piping, wall laminate and galvanized metal
Effectively blocks solvent-sensitive stains – such as tar, grease and ink
Achieves a consistent finish and dries quickly for recoats
Multi-Purpose Oil-Based Primer
Even though it’s oil-based, this versatile sealer is low odor – making it a great choice for using in occupied areas. It’s an exceptional whole-house primer that really does live up to its functional name.
Can be used on many interior surfaces – including wood, hardboard, cured plaster, paneling and ceiling tiles
Seals out odors and great at blocking stains – especially wood tannin stains and water-based stains

Accepts a wide range of topcoats – oil, latex, semigloss and gloss, even water-based epoxies

How to Choose Colors
Sherwin Williams
How to Choose Colors
Begin at the Beginning
Determine what features or existing finishes in the room you would consider permanent. Consider the cabinets, tile or a brick fireplace. For example, if the wood of your kitchen cabinets has a red undertone, make sure the paint color you choose works well with that hue.
Create a Focal Point
Emphasize your home's attractive architectural features, such as crown molding or arched window treatments, with contrasting paint — lighter or darker than the wall — or by painting them with a glossy finish. You can also make one wall an accent wall by painting it a different color, giving it a faux finish, adding wallpaper or a border.
Unify the Color Flow
You can unify rooms by using a common color palette. Create distinct spaces by altering the shade and hue within the common palette.
Emphasize or Minimize
Color can emphasize certain features - and minimize others. A long narrow room will look wider if you use a slightly darker color on the shorter walls and a lighter color on the longer walls. You can make a ceiling appear higher by applying a lighter color, or lower with a darker color. To give a big room a more intimate feel, paint the walls in colors that advance toward you, such as red, gold, orange and brown. To help a small room seem larger, paint the walls in colors that make them appear to recede, such as blue, green or violet.
Reflect on Light Sources
Remember that the color you choose may look different at various times of the day and night. The warm tones of incandescent lights will have a different influence on the color than the natural light of day. Once you're aware of how different light sources can affect your color choices, you can change your room's "mood" to match the pace of your day.

Selecting a Sheen
Sherwin Williams
Exterior paint comes in a full range of sheens. The finish you choose will be based on the type of surface you're painting and the durability and final appearance you want to achieve.
Flat/ Matte - This finish softens the look of an exterior and helps hide surface blemishes. Flat finishes are ideal for body siding.
Satin - With its slight gloss, this finish offers the benefits of a flat finish with added cleanability. It works best for:
Trim
Window Frames
Shutters
Surfaces that need routine cleaning
Gloss - This lustrous, durable finish is perfect for areas that require frequent cleaning. Gloss finishes, however, may accentuate surface imperfections. This finish is ideal for:
Doors
Garage doors
Decorative metal (lamp posts, metal trim)
Functional metal (gutters, downspouts, railings)
Accent trim
High Gloss - This extremely hard and shiny finish provides a rich, smooth luster. Gloss finishes, however, may accentuate surface imperfections. This finish is excellent for:
Front (main entry) doors
Decorative fixtures
Accent trim

Paint 101
Paint 101
Understanding color concepts and painting techniques will help you pick the right hues the first time -- and apply paint in a way that will last. Here are some tips to get you started.
From Simply Perfect Color Schemes
Surface Prep
Painting a wall is an easy way to add color to your rooms.
Here are some hints designed to help you achieve painting perfection.
Before you apply the first coat of paint, be sure the surface is clean, smooth, and dry.
· Sanding: Use 80-grit sandpaper to smooth out blemishes and surfacing compound to repair dings. Always sand the surfacing compound once it's dry and remove any dust.
· Washing: It's a good idea to wash wall surfaces before you begin, especially if you have sanded and need to remove the dust.
· Paint only dry surfaces. In damp weather, run an air-conditioner or dehumidifier or wait for more favorable conditions.
· Use a 2-1/2 or 3-inch flat brush to outline walls and ceilings and an extension roller to fill in the rest of the space.
· Paint ceilings before walls. Textured ceilings might require a sprayer.
· Load a brush by dipping the bristles one-third of the way into the paint. Lift the bristles out of the paint, then gently tap (don't wipe) them against the can's rim. The point is to load the brush just short of dripping on the way to the wall.
· Load a roller by dipping it into a tray full of paint and rolling it up the tray's ramp until the cover is saturated. Work in small sections (4-foot areas), rolling paint onto the wall in an overlapping W motion to prevent roller marks.
Brushstrokes
The key to applying a good coat of paint is choosing the correct brush.
As a basic rule, natural bristle brushes are best for oil-base paint, including stain, varnish, shellac, lacquer, and polyurethane; manufactured bristles are best for water-base (latex) paints.
If you prefer a very smooth surface, paint pads and foam rollers are excellent tools.
Cut down on some of the drips of paint by using a nail to punch several holes around the bottom of the paint can's rim. The holes will let paint drain back down into the can and keep it from pooling around the rim when you pour into a roller tray or smaller container.
· Determine the purpose of the room, then browse these guidelines to help you decide what type of finish to choose.
· Flat paints offer ideal, nonreflective surface quality. These paints are better suited for lower-use areas in the home or in new construction, as flat paints help mask surfaces to make them appear smooth and uniform.
· Eggshell and satin finish paints have a bit more sheen than flat paints and are ideal for places that need a cleanable but not shiny finish.
· Semi-gloss and high-gloss paints are ideal in spaces where wall surfaces need to be wiped frequently, such as the kitchen. High-gloss paints also produce the toughest and most stain-resistant finishes, so they also are ideal in children's bedrooms and bath spaces. TIP: surface preprartion is key to a successful high-gloss finish, since every imperfection will be highlighted with glossy paint.
· Oil-base paints have resins and thinners in them and are best used on chalky surfaces and over areas already painted with oil-base paints
· Many paint companies now offer small containers of paint to take home and try before committing to a gallon or even a quart. Always paint a few color samples on your walls (or on a sample board). View them in daylight and artificial light so you can see which color will work best in your room.
· The larger the room, the stronger the color appears. In big rooms, consider buying a lighter value of the hue.
· Apply two thin coats instead of one thick coat, which could dry unevenly and leave lap marks.
· In calculating the amount of paint needed, measure the perimeter of the room and multiply the result by the ceiling height to get square footage. (Don't deduct for windows or other openings unless they add up to more than 100 square feet.) Divide the square footage by the number of square feet the gallon of paint promises to cover. This will give you the number of gallons you will need.
Brush Lingo
ROLLER: A 1-1/2-inch foam paint roller allows you to load three or four times as much paint as other materials and will roll over any surface. Rollers won't splatter paint or leave residue behind.
MINI ROLLERS: Typically 4 inches wide, these rollers make it easy to paint small areas, and they apply paint as evenly as the larger versions. The smaller rollers are ideal for getting into tight corners.
PADS: These tools are good for decreasing splatters when applying paint to a surface. They work fast and are good for painting edges. The pad's handle can be attached to an extension pole for painting ceilings or high walls.
BRUSHES: Use a 2-1/2- or 3-inch flat brush to outline walls and ceilings (a technique known as "cutting in"). Use angled brushes for tricky areas that require more brush control.

· Sanding: Use 80-grit sandpaper to smooth out blemishes and surfacing compound to repair dings. Always sand the surfacing compound once it's dry and remove any dust.
· Washing: It's a good idea to wash wall surfaces before you begin, especially if you have sanded and need to remove the dust.
· Paint only dry surfaces. In damp weather, run an air-conditioner or dehumidifier or wait for more favorable conditions.
· Use a 2-1/2 or 3-inch flat brush to outline walls and ceilings and an extension roller to fill in the rest of the space.
· Paint ceilings before walls. Textured ceilings might require a sprayer.
· Load a brush by dipping the bristles one-third of the way into the paint. Lift the bristles out of the paint, then gently tap (don't wipe) them against the can's rim. The point is to load the brush just short of dripping on the way to the wall.
· Load a roller by dipping it into a tray full of paint and rolling it up the tray's ramp until the cover is saturated. Work in small sections (4-foot areas), rolling paint onto the wall in an overlapping W motion to prevent roller marks.
Brushstrokes
The key to applying a good coat of paint is choosing the correct brush.
As a basic rule, natural bristle brushes are best for oil-base paint, including stain, varnish, shellac, lacquer, and polyurethane; manufactured bristles are best for water-base (latex) paints.
If you prefer a very smooth surface, paint pads and foam rollers are excellent tools.
Cut down on some of the drips of paint by using a nail to punch several holes around the bottom of the paint can's rim. The holes will let paint drain back down into the can and keep it from pooling around the rim when you pour into a roller tray or smaller container.
· Determine the purpose of the room, then browse these guidelines to help you decide what type of finish to choose.
· Flat paints offer ideal, nonreflective surface quality. These paints are better suited for lower-use areas in the home or in new construction, as flat paints help mask surfaces to make them appear smooth and uniform.
· Eggshell and satin finish paints have a bit more sheen than flat paints and are ideal for places that need a cleanable but not shiny finish.
· Semi-gloss and high-gloss paints are ideal in spaces where wall surfaces need to be wiped frequently, such as the kitchen. High-gloss paints also produce the toughest and most stain-resistant finishes, so they also are ideal in children's bedrooms and bath spaces. TIP: surface preprartion is key to a successful high-gloss finish, since every imperfection will be highlighted with glossy paint.
· Oil-base paints have resins and thinners in them and are best used on chalky surfaces and over areas already painted with oil-base paints
· Many paint companies now offer small containers of paint to take home and try before committing to a gallon or even a quart. Always paint a few color samples on your walls (or on a sample board). View them in daylight and artificial light so you can see which color will work best in your room.
· The larger the room, the stronger the color appears. In big rooms, consider buying a lighter value of the hue.
· Apply two thin coats instead of one thick coat, which could dry unevenly and leave lap marks.
· In calculating the amount of paint needed, measure the perimeter of the room and multiply the result by the ceiling height to get square footage. (Don't deduct for windows or other openings unless they add up to more than 100 square feet.) Divide the square footage by the number of square feet the gallon of paint promises to cover. This will give you the number of gallons you will need.
Brush Lingo
ROLLER: A 1-1/2-inch foam paint roller allows you to load three or four times as much paint as other materials and will roll over any surface. Rollers won't splatter paint or leave residue behind.
MINI ROLLERS: Typically 4 inches wide, these rollers make it easy to paint small areas, and they apply paint as evenly as the larger versions. The smaller rollers are ideal for getting into tight corners.
PADS: These tools are good for decreasing splatters when applying paint to a surface. They work fast and are good for painting edges. The pad's handle can be attached to an extension pole for painting ceilings or high walls.
BRUSHES: Use a 2-1/2- or 3-inch flat brush to outline walls and ceilings (a technique known as "cutting in"). Use angled brushes for tricky areas that require more brush control.

Five Things You Can do Now to Increase Your Business
By Benjamin Moore Paints
Tough economic times like these call for innovative ways to generate traffic and increase sales for your business. Here are five surefire ways to keep gloomy economic forecasts from raining on your business parade:
Expand Your Network – Work with colleagues in complementary industries (home design, flooring, furnishings, color consultants) to provide referrals, distribute business cards, brochures, etc. Barter services to save each other money as well as provide an immediate reference for your work.
One of our newest offerings – Marketing Solutions – provides print-on-demand ready-to-use advertising materials that can be customized for your business in an instant.
Advertising is essential in challenging economic climates, and it’s never been easier or more cost-effective to do that now with Marketing Solutions.
Know Your Customers – A no-brainer, right? But we’re talking about more than knowing their room color preferences. Ask them about their projects, share your knowledge, invite their questions, offer your assistance, return phone calls promptly, go out of your way to help. There is nothing more powerful, more effective or more important than outstanding customer service for a healthy business.
Look Your Best – People form initial impressions of each other within the first 10 seconds upon meeting, and solidify these impressions within the first 30 seconds. With less than a minute to convey your professionalism, a neat appearance is a must. When meeting a client for a bid, khakis and a polo shirt are a smart clothing choice. And don’t forget that a neat, clean appearance for you and your crew on the job matters, too. Organized estimate sheets, color cards, and other business tools which will add to your professionalism by demonstrating your attention to detail.
The Inside Edge offers a variety of business tools such as a Job Cost Estimator DVD, estimate sheets, and more, along with an apparel program to keep you looking your professional best.
Connect to Your Community – What can you do to make your community a better place? Volunteer your services, products, expertise and time to worthy causes in your community. You’ll make connections with other like-minded business owners and open yourself up to new lines of support and innovative ideas. Link up with other businesses and explore ways in which you can support each other (supply a local real estate agent, furniture store, color consultant, flooring store with Benjamin Moore paint color fan decks, color cards, etc.). Work together as a business community to weather stormy economic times – there’s strength in numbers.
Keep Learning – Learning new skills adds value and new business opportunities to your professional life. Expand your areas of expertise to include Specialty Finishes (link), interior and exterior staining, flooring, etc. Continually expanding your knowledge and skills will ensure you keep current with the latest trends, products and techniques as well as open new doors to endless possibilities.

How to Paint Anything
How to Paint Rugs
Base-coat your rug material if desired with acrylic paint. After the base coat dries, use a straightedge to guide your stencil placement. Apply your design in a contrasting color with a stencil brush and stencil, cleaning the stencil before moving it to a new section. When the paint is dry, seal and protect the design with clear polyurethane (we love the spray variety).
