    We recently started a project of repainting our whole house and chose cashmere eggshell for the walls and medium luster for the trim. It was so easy to work with, covers great and looks amazing when done! Highly recommend, especially for novice painters. This was my first time painting ever, and it was actually more enjoyable than I thought.

    Back when I was a painting contractor, we used Cashmere Lo Luster on new custom homes, and it looked great. Note that you must use a primer with good holdout to do this on new drywall, however, as cheap, chalky primers lead to the paint striking in and showing inconsistent gloss. We used PPG Speedhide 6-2 Latex Sealer. BTW, I would not recommend Cashmere Flat Enamel on ceilings, as it has a slightly higher gloss than most flats, and will highlight waves and imperfections, especially during the morning or evening when sunlight is hitting your ceiling at sharp angles. Promar 400 Flat or PPG Speedhide Pro-EV Flat are better choices for this application.

    I have used cashmere with great results before. Emerald wall paint on the other hand is in its own league of awesome. Just like the trim paint, it's the greatest wallpaint I've ever used. Effortlessly gets huge 20' tall walls to look flawless like it was dipped in paint at a factory.

    Just happened to paint a couple of accent walls today. One with Benjamin Moore regal egg shell. And the other with cashmere eggshell. Regal is a really good paint but wow I was surprised at how easy and smooth the cashmere was the apply. Longer open time for sure which allows for touch ups. Other reviews say the cashmere self levels which explains the longer open Time. Plus the regal was over $70 a gallon at ace and the cashmere was $42 a gallon my cost at S-W. Duration and emerald are my go to’s for higher traffic areas and I use emerald urethane on trim

    My painter sprayed Cashmere on my (icky) texured walls when I bought this house. It looks fine, but it isn't as durable as the Benjamin Moore paint that I used at my last house. But you get what you pay for. Now I use Sherwin Williams Emerald because it's easier to apply than BM Aura.

  • @KaYungCalebLai
    @KaYungCalebLai 11 місяців тому +1

    I had a VERY hard time working with Sherwin Williams paint. If you have a spot that you sanded flat, their self leveling paint will not create ANY stipple, so the flat spot is always flat no matter how you roll it. The only way to fix that is to use a paint that doesn't self level too much to get the texture back and then put this SW as a top coat. Doubling the work. If you just want to change the color of a wall, this will work fine.

    What do you think of a Medium Luster Cashmere Pure White (possibly darker/more bold colors in the bedrooms) on the walls and interior doors throughout a house? I'm rebuilding a fire damaged, gutted, ranch style home with 28 windows. A lot of natural light! The floors will be a light hickory, low sheen. My thinking is the floor will absorb/disperse most of the light. The cabinets will be a red/dark brown stain with matching floor and crown molding throughout the house. I really like the finish the paint creates and how durable it sounds in that finish.

    Stumbled across this video looking at your color suggestion videos. Thanks for all the information! So helpful.
    I used cashmere in my daughter's room over a year ago (it is what the husband brought home from the store as the SW rep's recommendation). It worked great and the end product looks really nice. It is a light grey.
    Then this summer, I painted my son's room also in cashmere - I like to keep things the same and didn't even think about it. BUT, I would not and will not be using cashmere ever again! I do not know why but it was very thick and the second coat dried so quickly that I could not get the backrolling done right. Now that it is all dried, I am not really happy with the stroke marks I am seeing. Hopefully, artwork etc will help cover or distract from it. Perhaps it is because this is a slightly more saturated color and then a dark accent wall? Or perhaps it is the weather?? I think I painted my daughter's room in the early spring and painted the son's room this summer. Too much heat and humidity? Who knows...
    Anyways - long story short - I do not recommend cashmere anymore!

    I love the cashmere finish. I painted 3 rooms in eggshell. I tried to spray it with wagoner gun and it didn't work. I probably should have thinned it more. So I rolled it and it was hard to cover the Monterey drag wall texture. It took a long time to paint with a thick nap roller and a lot of paint on the roller. Used a lot muscle 💪. Very hard. The paint coverage was great, but the little white spots due to the wall texture made it a very slow process. I hate my wall texture 🙃. It would have covered in 1 coat if it wasnt for the wall texture. I painted over builder grade SW Princeton White flat paint.

      Pro mar 200 comes in flat, eg shell and semi gloss. It's an industry standard. Most of the schools, office buildings, retail stores etc are painted with it. SW doesn't really like selling it to diy customers so they price it high to them but contractors can get it cheaper depending on their purchasing volume. It's really very good!

      @@graciesmom95 My name is Stephen, and I have my own cabinet painting company. Personally (and I know that you’ve probably already painted your cabinets by now), I wouldn’t use Cashmere on cabinet painting. It’s not designed for cabinets, and doesn’t have the extreme durability that a quality cabinet paint should have.
      Emerald by S-W is a decent paint, but to be honest, S-W doesn’t have my go-to cabinet paint. If you want to shop at S-W for a good cabinet paint, I would recommend Pro-Industrial in Satin finish, its done pretty well the few times I’ve used it. But still not my favorite.
      If dry times between coats aren’t a factor for you, I would recommend Benjamin Moore’s Advance. (16hrs between coats). It is great for trim also, but watch it about 10-15 minutes after you apply it… it has a tendency to run. Though, it’s a very forgiving paint for those who aren’t very experienced, and will always give you a glass smooth finish (even with a brush).
      If you want to step up your game a little though, I prefer to use Breakthrough by PPG (v250), but it’s very tricky to work with if you haven’t used it before. It looks amazing after 3-4 thin coats, and burnished & wiped smooth after the final coat… To me, it’s the closest thing to a factory cabinet finish and durability that you can get, whichever is always a win in my book 👍🏼
      I hope this has helped, I hope that your cabinets turned out great!

      No, it’s definitely best as a wall paint. It’s not near as durable as a furniture paint needs to be. I’m sure that the finish will be nice, but the durability won’t be there
      ProClassic or Pro-Industrial are better choices by S-W for furniture as far as finish and durability, but right now I prefer Breakthrough by PPG for a 1 part cabinet product. Advance by Benjamin Moore is great too, but IMO overall a little softer than Breakthrough, and it takes 30 DAYS to fully cure. I mean… I’m a pro painter, but I don’t like waiting THAT long for paint to fully cure, lol.
      Another good route (even more durable), would be a tinted “undercoater”, followed by a great water-based polyurethane. This will give you outstanding durability.

    I have used Cashmere dozens of times at all 3 of my homes, for real. It is my go to paint and always got the job done with 2 coats and no primer. Granted it was never on bare drywall, but if it's been painted, you can count on that. Also, with decent prep work, you will get a super smooth consistent finish. I did use Emerald (in Naval) and it was thinner and took 3 coats but the finish was just as good or better than Cashmere. I should have used a primer that time as the wall sucked in the 1st coat completely.
