Well, I went to a store here in Santa Rosa that sells Valspar paint. They could not make it. They could make other colors, but what good was that to me. I even brought the code to them, but their system does not go that far back in time. Then, he could anyway only make it in a spray can since I live south of the "sanity line" in this god forsaken state. It is illegal for them to make "sprayable" paint in a can with a lid, but sprayable paint in a spraycan, well he could sell me 1000 of those if I wanted. Go figure! And Suede finish, well, what is that ? One customer where they sold the Valspar knew what it was.
So, I went to another shop that mix and sells paints, same thing there, they could not even mix a flat paint for me because the guy who knew how to mix in "flattener" had just gone on vacation for 2 weeks.
And they could only make a one stage paint, so it would be fully glossy.
The other store with the missing expert sells Alexit paint from I guess Mankiewicz, and that seems to be what is available around here. No PPG or Dietzler for example.
Guess I am a bit lost with that paint issue. One guy said, we can only make exterior paints, that is all we have codes for.
Guess I have to go to a different town north of the "sanity line" next week and see if they can fix paint for me. Isn't life hard enough as it is, without making these stupid rules ?
