Gather and contact potential pros. Painters are among the most common professionals that homeowners use, so simply asking friends and neighbors for recommendations should start you off with a good list of names. You can also check with your local homebuilders' association or talk to architects and interior designers to see whom they like to work with.Generally, a prospective pro will pay a site visit in order to learn more about your needs and work up an estimate. You want to find a painter who falls in step with your budget, suits your style and has experience with the types of surfaces you need painted, especially if you're considering special finishes. Once you've narrowed down your list to a few likely candidates, ask for references and check them.
I bought the Commodor SW 6524 paint...and it looks way way darker than this photo... it looks like dark midnight blue...is this the right color?
