I've Been Hired By Benjamin Moore!
Well, I was called today by my Ben Moore rep and he asked me if I'd like to go to the factory next week and test some paints for them.... yup little ol me. They need me for 2 hours and will pay me $100 an hour. pretty cool huh!..it's called a rool/brush out I guess.. he said they will give me several different cans of un marked paint.. could be ben moore, could be california
and I appy them to a wall and they ask me questions ..... They want to know how I feel about each product, how it can be improved and whats wrong with it..... so if there is any big boys from sherwin williams reading this... My rate will be $100 and hour.. (not including expences) and I will test your paints also...just give me a ring! |

When the time comes, don't tell them which one you like best. Tell them which one sucks the least. Raise the bar.

You can go crazy after a while, you can't tell what is good or what. I think we were testing the new Aura paint. They have good food. I suggest you eat.
