<<The "good deals on paint" are in the returns and errors cart or shelves in Home Depot and Lowes. If you look and see what you like, you will "find them".>> Yes, I've seen those shelves. The products offered don't conform to the neutral colors I've been looking for. If you've ever sold real estate for yourself or others, you don't buy the mis-mixed pinks and oranges that seem to be popular among homeowners with kids whose rooms they want to decorate in the latest cool colors. Because paint stores don't take back any color mistakes made by the buyer and only sell color mistakes made by them in the mixing of the paint color in question, I see no need to buy their mistakes at any price. I intend to sell my house someday. I don't need any pink/orange/amorphous colors which don't conform to the upholstery on the furniture or the color of the flooring--unless I want to spend a fortune changing the color of the upholstery and flooring. <<gg>> Paint is tricky. I've always known that and am learning it's even more tricky than I thought before. <<GG>> Actually, right now, after tackling other areas of the house, I'm more into buying heavy-duty paint and different types of caulk for concrete/brick/cement-block walls in unfinished areas--it almost requires a separate college degree. <<GG>>
