Yes, that is my family – well, most of them.  From time to time I get asked, “Are they all yours.”  

I usually say, “Well most of them, I left the ugly ones at home.”

Some people have told me I am quiet and don’t talk much.  But, when it comes to paint, I just can’t contain myself – so I started this blog to keep from talking everyone’s ears off!  I try to write about the questions I get the most so you can find answers while your in your pajamas relaxing at home.  Feel free to call me anytime, I am always willing to tell you about anything I know about paint.  In the meantime, you might be able to find in here.  If you have ideas for me to write about, feel free to email them to office@indianapainting.com.

Behr i300 Commercial Interior Paint

Behr i300 Commercial Interior Paint

Like a lot of contractors, I never considered using Behr for commercial interior painting jobs.  First, it comes from a box store so it must be a residential or homeowner thing, right!  Boy was I wrong!  During the pandemic of 2020 and the shortages of the last few years, we started looking for ways to augment our supply chain to keep paint flowing so we didn’t have to tell our customers we couldn’t fulfill our commitment to them because we couldn’t get paint.  We tried a lot of avenues, but...

Commercial Vinyl Wallcovering

Commercial Vinyl Wallcovering

With astounding regularity people wince when you say the words wallpaper or wallcovering.  I’m not sure if it is due to this disgust that most word processors  don’t even recognize the word wallcovering.  Go ahead and try it out, you’ll get the red squiggly underline that says this isn’t a real word!  I think I can tell you why most people feel this way - how many great wallcovering jobs have you seen.  Probably a lot of them, but they are unremarkable when compared to...

PPG Ultralast

PPG Ultralast

I’ve been wanting to write a product spotlight on PPG Ultralast for some time now.  We’ve been using this product for a little over a year now and I can’t think of really anything bad to say about it.  Ultralast is PPG’s new ultra premium (I know, how many superlatives can we think of!) paint that is supposed to specialize is scuff resistance and cleanable.  The literature tells us they’ve incorporated technology from the automotive paint industry.  While I am sure this is...

Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel

Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel

Many paint suppliers spin off new products from existing ones that are just glorified enhancements to their existing product line. We almost never trust a new product release without first using it and seeing if it stands the test of time. Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel is an exception to this rule. It has been a game-changer for our company. It is tougher than DTM and is quite fade resistant. It can be used on interior and exterior trim and metal items. It cures hard enough to resist...
