Someone pm'd me where tiddler stated that a behr 1850 reference gray mixed with 25% Minwax poly will give 'close' to the same results of BW. So I have some of that and the third coat is drying. I'm not expecting much as tiddler is the same individual who recommended the Dulux 'Veil' and then of course changed the brand of paint. He's also the same individual who stated that BW needed to be compared to a similar shade, that was done as well. Last I heard he's on a sheen kick over at AVS. If you ever head over there check each of his posts and see if they have been edited. I'd hazard a guess of over 50%.  So yes I'm, playing Mythbuster on this one too. Anyone hazard a guess what will be next?
I'm also working with some white paints I've found that piqued my curiosity. I have one panel drying and another to start on after the last coat for the first.
Finally I'm also mythbusting the flat paint diatribe. I've tested Pittsburgh Paints flat Bermuda Beige with AAA and it came out neutral. And in my little sample I saw lots of Aluminum at the surface so I'm painting a panel of that as well.
Had the weather not turned sour I think I would have been doing yard work! |

OK Cheswick, whatever
Yeah, the sheen is the difference.......
Heard that ridiculous before..
