Black paint can be a challenge even under the best of circumstances... but yes, it's especially annoying when you're gone to extra trouble and expense only to end up with poor results.<br /><br />I have a chest of drawers that I want to paint matte black with gloss black details. I just have to build up the courage to face the task!J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-86685840221375764932015-10-13T11:59:18.197-06:002015-10-13T11:59:18.197-06:00I feel your painting woe!

I have gloss black set of corner-shelves I recently painted that looks less coated in slick darkness and more coated in an oil slick :( The paint was thick like treacles and had a tendency, even when applied thinly, to leave translucent patches, gloopy thick patches, weird shrinkage wrinkles. I hate it when you go to paint something and what should be an easy job turns into a nightmare. Everything else I have painted in my new house is fine, including the matt AND gloss black ceiling rose (gloss jet black details over black with a blue undertone), which is the trickiest thing I have ever painted. But this one boring set of corner shelves looks like it was dredged out of a barrel of crude :( It was cheap wood gloss, and I feel that I've reaped the rewards of buying cheap; cheap-looking results :( Going out of your way, and paying extra for a product and getting bad results has got to suck even more :( The HouseCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783576090040274742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-86270361014151091982015-08-30T14:03:45.268-06:002015-08-30T14:03:45.268-06:00I think the shape of the cabinet and the trim at t...I think the shape of the cabinet and the trim at the top makes it look a bit nicer than the average bath cabinet... which is why I hope I can salvage the paint job.

I later found out it's because our carrier had changed, and they had a habit of scanning it delivered and forgetting it in the truck in their rush to get done. SUPER annoying, especially with time sensitive material during the selling of the house.<br /><br />I hope everything resolves in your favor because Amazon's customer service gets dicey after a certain period of time.Madame Mari Mortemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092879436628518422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-80124860528613563852015-08-27T18:16:33.221-06:002015-08-27T18:16:33.221-06:00Gah.

Not that chalk paint is cheap either but at least there's very little prep work involved. Beats sanding everything! Still, I'm glad you're going to complain to Sherwin Williams.

I'm glad you are not going to just let either one go, although it's always annoying to have to do a lot of complaining to get something fixed. Hopefully managers will be able to make things right, or at least compensate you for your trouble.
