Hi To Evryone


Hello to everyone
Hi I have just relocated here from the UK and will be starting up again working for myself,
I have did some work on my own home and have so far used sherin williams paint ;-
celing- promar 400
walls-promar 200
woodwork-oil based gloss
My questions are what are the standard paints used by everyone for
interior work,I realise that some clients prefer the top of the range in product but I just want a general guide if that is possible,
also I will be painting my deck soon and have noticed screw holes that have blistered (I presume this is down to bad prep) what is the standard spec for decks that have been previously painted and what filler would you use for screw holes.
I know this might be a bit vague but any help will be much appreciated

Best regards David

Re: Hi To Evryone


Welcome David.. and Bess. Interior is normally what the client wants for me... if it's a cheap client I spec cheaper paints... Normally however, in the SW lines, I spec superpaint ext and int trim, and promar 100 int walls. Trying to get people out of the habit of oil. Screw holes on decks? Never really did anything with em, can't say.. we leave them basically alone. Painted decks we normally just spec solid body.
