Trim Problem - Behr Premium Paint And Primer In One


new to the forum but love the expertise.
Question... customer uses ultra pure white Behr premium paint and primer in one on all of her interior trim and doors and they look horrible - heavy and feel tacky.

Sub wants to strip or repl? Can they be recoated with a higher quality product? Any suggestions?

Thanks, B

You are in for a world of problems, my friend.

I'd suggest that you start with demolishing the whole house. That is the only sane solution to this nightmare.

love superpaint, will try a sand and repaint first. HO will not spend the dough to replace and demolishing the house is not an option.

thanks for the opinions folks.
