Sears Paint


Who makes Sears paint? That crap stinks. Doing some work for a customer in a bathroom and I needed to paint the qtr rnd. She gave me the paint, Sears, and it sucks. Made streaks all over the qtr rnd, which was primed and sanded. I've got to put 2 coats, I used good Primer (Porter).
Sears paint stinks

Re: Sears Paint


I don't let them buy it either. It's just that I was replacing the floor covering (carpet in the bathroom), vinyl tiles and it needed some qtr rnd to finish it out. I NEVER let them buy the paint and I pretty much refuse to paint if they want other than Porter or Sherwin Williams.

Still, who makes Sears paint??????
