Frazee paint?
Anyone used it? I see their coupons all the time on the backs of game tickets, etc. I went to their store yesterday at lunch and was kind of shocked at the limited paint color selection. I was expecting something more like a Sherwin Williams.
Anyways. I am planning on painting a bathroom, dining room, and maybe bedroom (depending on how motivated I feel). I also need to paint an unfinished end table.
Should I stick with Home Depot or something else, or is Frazee paint good? Will they mix up any color for you, or does it have to be one of theirs?

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: Frazee paint?
I Frazee paint is good but pricey. I would go with Lowe "Valspar" paint.
Bear paint from Home depot required 3 coats for us and Valspar only 2.
Good luck and happy paining
we've always use behr & love the results. we've never tried valspar, since home depot doesn't carry it. funny thing is, i think valspar is minnesota based. we prime before we paint. i think the last brand we got was called killz? it's from home depot & worked great too. yeah, we like home depot.
have fun painting!
I always suggest priming before painting. We also use Kilz. DH and I work for Dixieline and have always used Valspar paint. But I don't think that Behr is a bad brand.
If you ant a specific color you can bring it to Lowes, Home Depot or Dixieline and they can match it for you by placing the swatch/sample into this machine and matching the color. No need to look at hundreds of paint chip samples at the store for that specific brand.
We just bought paint for the nursery online from a company that sells zero VOC paint (http://tinyurl.com/5ob9s9) and just typed in the color we wanted from the Behr paint chips we liked. They were even able to match the color by the sample number. So if you have a color you like but it's from Valspar or Behr the company can most likely look up the paint color in their system even if you don't use that specific brand of paint.
HTH!
we just used Frazee to paint our new house and LOVE it. none of the colors I picked were Frazee, but I just brought them the paint chips i got at home depot and they color matched. keep in mind they do charge extra for that though. we didn't prime and the Frazee paint covered great with two coats (and that was over some terrible sponge painting & a very bright green in one of the rooms).
btw, the ony reason we used Frazee is because my girlfriend is a professional painter and suggested Frazee and got us a good discount.
