In 2021, 35-ish bucks for a gallon of Duration Home isn't happening. I just paid "on sale" $30 for a QUART of pure white semi gloss. The gallon is around 70 on sale (10% off is common). I go to SW once a week while refinishing my house and for the last year I haven't seen a 40% off sale and even 40% off $80 is $48. Emerald is pushing $100 per gallon (and note, SW "gallons" are not 1 gallon but 3 27/32 quarts, or 3.63L nor 3.78L, or already 4% less than you think you are getting). I still will use this paint, because anything else I tried doesn't come close to it. Love how it flows.

Hi Peter. Thanks for keeping us posted on prices for residential users. Sherwin Williams has a major paint shortage right now (at least on the East Coast) so maybe thats why they aren't having sales. Our pricing is in the low 40's right now and its set to go up in the new year for us. Also the stock paints aren't typically a full gallon so they can add tint to it. If you want a little more bang for your buck you can have them add some white pigment to make it 'extra white #7006'. If you do that you can't return it tho if you bought too much paint. Its a great paint and we love it!

Use a 2k product! You can use emerald urethane if you have to but a 2k product is unbeatable. The finish isn’t like anything else, it’s literally flawless. It won’t scratch off, it won’t peel, and it will last way longer then anything else. The companies I recommend where you can get 2k products are Centurion, Renner, or Milesi. Those are the best 2k products in my personal experience. You can’t go wrong with one of those 2k products guaranteed! There’s also a new product from Sherwin Williams called Gallery Series, it’s a 1k product and it’s made for cabinets but I would get one of the 2k products for sure.

I think you might be my new “go to” from now on. Questions: 1. I’m looking for a paint that will withstand remote control cars, balls, hockey pucks (kidding but not really). I just need something really really durable. I’ve tried several different products to no avail and I’ve reached such a level of desperation, that I actually contemplated using some kind of resin or epoxy as a top coat… Which I’m pretty certain isn’t even a thing. But dammit, I was gonna make it one!! 🤪🔫 So here’s my question…. Is Duration more durable than Emerald? I was all ready to buy Emerald until seeing this vid, which is also a few years old. So that brings me to my next question- Has your trim preference changed since uploading this video and if so, what are you using these days? Thanks so much!!… I can’t wait to binge watch your other videos and see what else I can learn from you.

What you’re experiencing is usually caused by a latex based trim paint being painted over trim that has been previously painted with oil based trim paint. The latex paint won’t bond properly to the surface and will peel off. That’s a frustrating experience. In order to fix it, the loose trim needs to be sanded off so that nothing is peeling off, then the surface needs to be primed with a bonding primer, an oil primer, or shellac, then the surface can be painted with the trim paint of you’re choosing. It’s not a fun process but we see it all the time.

Here's a video on using BIN shellac to do that: kzitem.info/news/bejne/saqan61ofWZmiawsi=rloWv0dO4orJUht1 We usually use the base white from Sherwin Williams which is either Extra White or High Hide White. And here's our current product loadout for 2023: kzitem.info/news/bejne/xJuv1HmBjWedopgsi=GfSMIyBqgf9pHvBi If watch any other of my videos and leave a new comment then I'll answer them too.

Do I need to prime raw wood if im using the emerald urethane paint?

I would recommend using a wall and wood primer before going over it with the urethane. Primers and finish paints are doing two different things to a surface. Prime and two top coats. This is the way...

Yes it would. Recently we've been having a lot of success with the Fresh Start primer from Benjamin Moore. We've gotten really good adhesion on a variety of surfaces with it. Duration is a great acrylic paint. If you want something with a bit more grip and durability then you may want to check out Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel from Benjamin Moore.

Ok so after watching your video, I’m REPAINTING OAK kitchen cabinets. I painted over the original oak stain about 15 years ago. Let’s say I really didn’t know what I was doing!😩! I sanded and degreased then primed and then painted with water base cabinet paint from Home Depot. Don’t ask me what it was bc I have no idea!! ANYWAY, MY QUESTION IS: can I use the SW duration on my cabinets???? I have stripped them down to the bare wood (ugh such a pain!!!!!) (I bought SW Extreme Bonding Primer for the primer for the ceramic tile back splash that I’ll be painting (a whole nother story😢) and I was going to try the SWEBP on the wood as a primer…. ???? Maybe????? (I’ll take any advice on that) and after seeing the video thought why couldn’t I use the Duration as the cabinet paint over the Extreme Bonding Primer???? I’ll be brushing it btw. The oak grain doesn’t bother me that it shows thru either. Thoughts please!!!! Thanks!!!!!

Alrighty…a few things to consider. I’m not positive that the extreme bond primer will do what you want it to do over the tile, but that’s another story as you say. When we, and my buddies that paint a lot of cabinets, we use BIN Shellac based primer. You can get it at Home Depot. Then we go over it with our trim paint.

Hi, we built our house 18 years ago & trim as never been repainted. Went to SW some months back & wanted the same paint that was used before. Found out it was oil paint & they had none or oil primer because of shortage. I was sorry to hear but also sorry because I’m very sensitive & can’t tolerate the smell of oil paint. Is the Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel as bad as the oil paint? How long before any smell is gone? How long to dry? I just received a 40% off so I’m hoping theres no more shortage. How long can I store paint? I might buy now at 40% off & not use till spring. Sorry for so many questions. I love your videos, they are very helpful.

It's not a bad idea to go ahead and buy the Emerald Urethane while you have the discount. Paint will store for years as long as the cans are sealed and are kept at a reasonable temperature. The Emerald Urethane has more of an odor than latex based trim paints but it off-gases quickly and is a great option for painting over oil trim. If you are sensitive to fumes, then I'd suggest using a respirator, open windows, and keep the air moving through the work area using fans. Good luck with your project!

Our #2 is Emerald Urethane especially for slick surfaces and things like fireplace mantles and bay window sills. We don't like Pro Classic (runny, harder to work with, doesn't cover as well) and much prefer Emerald Urethane over it. Advance is great but takes a long time to dry which makes it tough to do two coats in a day. Also all the paints you listed do work and will get the job done and some painters like those better than Duration. For us we like Duration semi the best. Have a good one!

Hi Jason. Since your spraying base, you may want to use a sponge mini roller to mimic the same finish. After you caulk you could try touching up just the trim, but most likely some of the caulk will get on the walls. How we do it is paint the top part of trim and get it on walls to cover everything. Once trim paint has dried for 4 hours or more we tape off trim and use wall paint over the tape which gives a straight line. Some painters may go opposite by using wall paint first, then manually touching up trim, but we find using tape gives us straighter lines and is far less annoying. Good luck!

What would you suggest for inside brick on fireplace?

That depends on a few things. If the brick has not been previously painted then I'd suggest a masonry paint like Loxon from Sherwin Williams. If it's been previously painted then you could use pretty much anything you wanted. Also, is it an active fireplace? If so then I'd probably stick with something like Loxon. Good luck with your project!

Ok made the mistake of just painting stained trim and it does just flake off ugh? So what should I do now? We are. Currently doing all of the trim in our house and I hate the brush strokes and any roller I use is leaving a texture behind. I’m just using the bulls eye primer on newer trim two coats and sand in between? So I have the left the existing casings and they are all painted

Hi. Sorry about the flaking paint, we've done that before :). For flaking paint you can sand all loose paint off. Then prime with oil primer (Binz or Kilz) or there is a bonding primer at Sherwin Williams with water cleanup that we like. Then you can paint with any latex paint after its primed. Also if you use Emerald Urethane from Sherwin Williams it can go over oil paint or even stained trim. (Oil priming is ideal tho). We typically brush all our trim except for flat panel doors which we roll with a 1/4 inch roller. The best product for eliminating brush strokes is Ben Moore Advance satin or semi gloss. It takes longer to dry and recoat but levels great. Good luck!

@@SuperVassarBrothers thank you for replying!!! I have watched so many videos and I love how you break down the paint and why you would or would not use or your favorite. It helps make sense for what problem we may or may not be having trying to diy when everything is so expensive right now!! Have a great rest of your week!
