I'm a Ben gal all the way for walls, but Sherwin Williams cleans Ben's clock when it comes to patio/floor paint. It is outstanding.

[captainkirk]

I worked for Sherwin Williams for 13 years, and worked for Ben Moore I was shocked how much better Ben was .

I think Sherwin Williams paint’s are a little more vibrant and fun, where Benjamin moore looks more elegant and sophisticated.Thanks for the video!

Some contractors told me they will use a roller and some said they will spray on my aluminum siding, which do you recommend? One contractor said you have to thin the paint for a sprayer?

[gary]

It all depends on the pencil hardness test results which Sherwin Williams refuses to divuge. I had no problem with Benjamin Moore to get those numbers.

I have a contract at Sherwin.
I don’t have one with benji for a reason.
The CPVC ratio is always lower (requiring more coats) on BM and the paint is often much more expensive.

I like Sherwin-Williams because they're local and more locations. They have more selections with specialized products for my baby's room to make sure the paint is safe and sanitized. Especially with these shortages, Sherwin-Williams will take care of me.

I’ve been a BM fan for over 40 years, but their new line dries way too slowly (16 hours!) & produces unpredictable (or rather predictably poor) results on vertical surfaces unless sprayed. Love BM’s Stix primer. I now only use Emerald for trim. Dries much faster, resulting in faster 2nd coat, w/ no sags. Fortunately I have easy access to both dealers.

I used both and honestly for cabinets nothing like emerald urethane and acrylic. But Benjamin Moore is good for interiors, everything else not good behr marquee is to oily

2:18.. what problem would require Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams to come out to a job site or someone’s home?

[gunsnroses]

Ben Moore is better paint and it all comes down to the technical data of the products

[Rpp]

Sherwin Williams Emerald all the way, love it.

What are any thoughts on Sherman Williams exterior concrete patio paint vs Benjamin Moore Floor & Patio? I would use Sherwin Williams ConFlex paint for this job but China seems to have a stranglehold on chemicals so there isn’t any available.

[aimlessendeavor]

I know no painter that has ever said anything good about Emerald, and I know a lot of painters.

For me it comes down to 1. quality of their high production paint and 2. quality of the experience in the store. For #1, SW's ProMar 200 is just not nearly as fun to paint with as Ben Moore's UltraSpec. UltraSpec is just a great product for a great price. For #2, Benjamin Moore is owned by a local store here in north Texas, so I get the white glove treatment and the staff is experienced and super knowledgeable. Sherwin-Williams always feels pretty corporate, and they've botched a few of my orders already and seem generally lost when I visit the store.

I’ve been painting my entire career an Ben is the best! I use sw because of the huge price break I get I paint new construction houses but sometimes I get a gallon here an there when the home has more than one color an I love it!

[hocineted]

Which is more bright and white white dove or alabaster ?

[SketchybrainD]

Benjamin moore regal is the best interior paint I used

[sunriver]

Don't use Behr I bought some and it smelled like Rotten eggs or Sulpher!

[sonwasup]

Benjamin Moore is having this leaching problem where it looks like moisture is running down the wall (surfactant)We’ve seen it in every single room on occasion from just one spore to multiple spores. We’ve totally switched over from Benjamin Moore to Sherwin Williams emerald or duration
