Paint flip-flop

13 years ago

I am redoing my office - mostly cosmetic stuff - replacing old carpet with wood and painting. The guy at the paint counter goofed and I didn't catch it. The wall color was made on the enamel base and the trim color in flat. I can likely use the flat paint to paint the guest room (next project). Any ideas on how I could use the enamel? Or should I chalk it up to "learning" I should say the color is Behr Rye Bread a pale greenish taupe

Behr rye bread

Pretty color. Maybe a bathroom? Furniture? Some decorators go for the shiny ceiling....Or donate to Re-store...

Will the paint store not take it back? It sounds like it was their mistake, not yours.

Yes. The paint store owes you a total refund.

If you can't take it back it would be a nice color for a bathroom.. I could see a nice sandy beach theme. ;)

Thanks so much for the suggestions. It is great to have support when even simple jobs go awry.

Yes, it was their mistake, and I am sure if I noticed and pointed it out before I left the store they would have remade it at no charge.

I will try to return it, and if they won't take it back I will probably donate it to ReStore as we have already painted the bathrooms and don't want to do them just now.

I have noticed "oops" paint in paint stores......paint that is the wrong color or finish so am sure you can talk to them about exchanging it for what you want. If not...good idea donating it to the ReStore.
