Sherwin Williams sample paint

(1/1)

shmokes:
I recently discovered quarts of sample paint from Sherwin Williams.  The purpose is to put it up on a wall to see  if it's the right color, but why couldn't I just use it to paint?  It cost $5 for the same as much paint as a $15 regular quart.  And I can't tell any difference.  Is there a difference?  Why is it so inexpensive?

Kevin Mullins:
I would hope that the samples are of the same quality as the paint would be, otherwise it wouldn't make for a good "sample". IMO

Sherwins site didn't offer much more info, but I did find this tidbit on another site that offered them.

So I would assume if you are happy with that particular sheen it would.

shmokes:
Yeah . . . what I got was satin, and I'm under the impression that's all it comes in, but that's what I wanted.  And getting a quart of the exact same color in satin if I don't ask for a sample costs $15.  Amazing find, really.
