:furious:
One of my contractor customers bought 6 gal of a dark red in Super Spec Eggshell. He's whining because it took 3 coats to cover. Like thats my fault or something.
I told him to buy Aura so he wouldnt need 3 coats.....he didnt want to spend the money, now hes whining because of the extra material and labor for the 3rd coat.
First,....dark colors....I typically lose money on, it sucks for me and my customer, it costs me more to sell the product, and works equally crappy for them. I pay $12.05 for deep base super spec eggshell...the tint cost was $13.53 per gal costing $25.58.....I only charge $21.99 per gal
so I lost money.
Now 6 x 21.99 = $131.94 ( super spec @ 3 coats plus primer)
Aura $47 x 3 = $141 ( and one less coat and no primer )
Where did he save? I would have not lost as much selling him less paint!!!! Some people just dont get it, they try and go cheap, and act like the store is getting rich off them. Yeah, thats it, im secretly a millionaire and paint only costs me .50c per gal...I make tons of money, yeah right.
Ok I feel better, somehow mashing keyboard buttons always makes things better :w00t:
