Paint Color Problems

Hi all.

Trying to be cost effective with my cabinet I decided to buy my paint for my cabinet from the seconds pile @ Home Hardware

At the store these was a black spot painted on the top of the tin and when I opened it was black so I bought it.

paigeoliver:

I bought a smallish $5 can of black paint 2 years ago and I have now painted 3 cabinets with it (multiple coats) an I still have almost half of it left. So I suggest just buying some black paint, you don't need the 1 gallon can.

Also, that color brown actually looks pretty decent on a game, I used to have a Pac-Man cabinet that had been painted that color.

daywane:

are you saying balck is a rare paint?
were do you live?
wal mart, and home depot, and lowes have black here in KY

DrewKaree:

Well, he calls a paint can a "tin", so I'm guessing he's from another part of the world.  They probably don't have as many angst-ridden teenagers wishing to paint their bedrooms black over there ;D

ginno:

paigeoliver: how big is the CAN you bought?

daywane: I'm saying finding black paint in seconds is rare because no one ever returns black paint to the store.

DrewKaree: There is actually some truth to your statement, I'm from Australia and once you turn 12 it is compulsory to join a life deveopment camp whereby you are sent to the outback for the majourity of your teenage life to learn how to ride kangaroos etc..
So you are correct in saying we don't have as many teenagers wanting to paint their bedrooms black.
