TIPS & TRICKS

The most you can dilute a gallon of paint is usually around 10%.

But here's a story that explains why we broke this rule and diluted it to 25%... and how it got our clients out of a very VERY challenging situation.

Whether you'r a DIY using tape to help with the cutting in... or you're a Professional Painter using tape to create a paint border in the middle of a wall...

You may have had to deal with a stubborn tape that was hard to remove... or worst, that was peeling away some of the paint.  

Why is that?

And what can I do to avoid this?

The simple answer can be found in this week's video.

This is a question that should never be left unanswered.

And while there is no RIGHT or WRONG answer... in this week's video, I share with you why I believe it's in the homeowners best interest to do so...

This question has been on my mind for years and years and whenever I asked either painters or other experts, I could never get a straight answer. Until, one day, a few years ago, it hit me... IT'S SURFACTANT!

Check out this week's video for the full explanation.

What's the Best Paint?

Is there such a thing?

And if so, which one reigns supreme?

While each role is completely distinct and requires unique skills, knowledge & service... these 3 roles often form a single unit and become dependant on one another to create a person's overall Travel Experience (for better or worse)

So what does this have to do with the Painting Experience?

Well similarly, there are 3 distinct roles that are dependant on one another to create a person's overall Painting Experience - PAINTER, CONTRACTOR & CONSULTANT. But unfortunately, very few people are bringing them together as a single unit...

No, this is NOT a typo…

Back in 2003, I made a mistake on ONE JOB that cost me over $50 000!

And all of it had to do with my lack of KNOWLEDGE.

You see, unlike most careers, there are no mandatory schools for painters to attend BEFORE entering the marketplace. This means, most painters are left trying to figure things out on their own… making mistakes… learning from them…

But as I discovered, this can be both COSTLY & TIME CONSUMING!

I talked about this $50 000 mistake in a few of my YouTube Videos, but a lot of people have been asking me for more details since the story seems exaggerated to a lot of people.

Well the reason why I don’t go into much details in my videos is because it’s simply too hard to relive. That time in my life brought me to a place where I wanted to end it all…

Still, for me, what I learned from this $50 000 mistake ended up being worth the pain, suffering & even the money it cost me.

And I believe it might...
