In this session we will be introducing the paint products we sale and use representing paint and paint related products from two manufactures; - Fusion Mineral Paint - General Finishes Both are excellent and offer an extensive range of colors and finishes for DIYers as well as professionals. We carry both because we feel they compliment and enhance each other in both color and usability. Fusion: Fusion's mineral paint is a water base product that is self-leveling and does not require a top coat. It is an excellent choice for brush applications but may also be sprayed. It comes in small testers sizes so you can view your color choice or use for small projects. The standard is a pint size and the pint will cover 75 square feet paint, think large dressers, buffets or an armoire with two coats and have paint left over. It is currently offered on over 50 colors. We also carry other Fusion products; clear glaze, antique glaze, ultra-grip, waxes, and other finishing items. We will discuss those in more detail in a future post as we discuss their application to enhance your project. Also note that the paints may be mixed together to create custom color blends. To learn more about Fusion Paint visit their web site. General Finishes: General Finishes' milk paint is a poly-acrylic water based product that is self leveling and does not require a top coat. While not a true "milk" paint, it recreates the deep bold colors of traditional milks paints. It comes in pints and a pint will paint most pieces of furniture with two coats. It is currently offered in 26 colors. General Finishes Chalk like paint is a water based product that does require a top coat, either waxing or sealer. Since it re-hydrates it is an excellent choice for color blending. It comes in quart sizes. It is currently offered in 20 colors We also carry other General Finishes products, pearl effects, glaze effects, high performance top coats, gel stains, and extenders. We will discuss those in more detail in a future post as we discuss their application to take your project to the next level. Also note that the paints (milk and chalk) may be mixed together to create custom color blends. To learn more about General Finishes Paint visit their web site. Final Note: We are certified retailers for both product lines, having completed their respective training requirements and can help you with your painting needs as it relates to those products.

We are making progress on learning the mechanics of creating blog posts and have made some progress in creating our Tutorial posts as well as some General Information posts. We hope to get the process finalized and start posting on a regular schedule. We would like to offer a few guidelines as we start this process. We will attempt to publish our posts on Tuesday evenings and will try to do that every two weeks. Feel free to comment or ask questions on the post and we will attempt to response in a timely manner. We will leave the comment period open for 2-3 weeks. If you have future post subjects that you would like to get our take on, just drop us an email or add a comment on a post. If we have knowledge on the subject we will try to address. We may from time to time discuss other products that we use, we are not affiliated with any of those products and receive no compensation from their manufacturers. They are just products we have found that work for us, fill a need, and we realize that there are other products that perform in similar ways. Final Note: We want this process to help YOU have a better paint experience. Jim & Nancy - Just Paint It |
