 To be fair guys, the BW mixes contain either 20% or 25% aluminum paint; if that paint had a glossy finish by itself it could indeed add some amount of gloss to the total mix. The fact of the matter is that they don't. Maybe they just don't believe us.   |
It just seems to be one person with the issue. Maybe it is the brand/base that's the difference, but I still cannot believe that an N7.5 gray will perform the same and an N8 or N8.5 shade. If this were a bunch of people having the same problem or reporting back the same thing, then it definitely would need some serious investigation. Because I don't know right now what the difference is between what he's getting and using and what we are getting and using, the safe thing to say would be steer clear of Dulux for this application.
In case people didn't know this, Valspar isn't exclusive to Lowes, and Olympic is from the same company as PPG. So if there isn't a Lowes around, there most likely is a paint shop that carries one of those two brands.
