A good contractor( like us "Investment Painting") uses good quality Sherwin Williams paint. We advertise on TOTV. You can see our references under contractors and services section.
The above statements are not only biased, but NOT TRUE. Color Wheel is very good paint, not that Sherwin Williams is not, but to bash Color Wheel is not fair. We used Color Wheel to paint the inside and it is very good quality and covers very good. To say that the Villages only "primers" inside walls should tell you something. Color Wheel has a lady that will come to your house by appointment, with the color samples and help you pick the colors in your house with the light "in your house" and your furnishing. Her name is GLORIA and she is VERY GOOD. Anyone who has tried to pick colors in the store can testify how difficult and different it is to coordinate. We were told the trim paint was Sherwin Williams so we went to the store on 301 for some help. The person we talked to was NOT much help.

A good contractor( like us "Investment Painting"), you shouldn't have to toot your own horn, with all the people on this forum, let them speak for you.
