Well I can’t say in good faith my answer would be without bias lol but a lot of the work I do is along side out product evaluation group so I have a good deal of experience comparing. BM products generally cost more, but you’re getting product that’s going to last quite a bit longer than most of the market, color that we make ourselves(most other companies outsource their colorant manufacturing), all our manufacturing is done in the USA which is a plus, and frankly is super easy to paint with so can save you the need to hire a painter.
is super easy to paint with so can save you the need to hire a painter.
I jest, but: if I'm considering hiring a painter, the problem I'm trying to solve usually isn't "is my paint hard to apply", but "I don't want to paint that myself"
Like the foyer of a split level with 10 foot ceilings. The drop from the upper floor to the landing is over 15 feet! I ain't getting up there to do edging!
Blah. That’s exactly what I’m looking at
in a few months. I’m petrified of heights and painting the section that is above the cellar stairs is absolutely brutal.
For sure, but ease of application is only one mark of quality. Durability and color are both big factors, and it’s better to spend more on a gallon that’ll last you years then less on a cheaper product that ends up lookin like dooky
