Brands of Paint: Vancouver’s Best Painters

Section 2.01 deals with approved paints and manufacturers.  While this provision benefits the Co-Op by ensuring that interior surfaces are well protected and assures the new occupant of quality paint, it also benefits the member doing the painting.  Under the Materials section, a number of paint manufactureres are listed.  These all have in common the fact that they provide quality products.  Those of us who have had experience with “budget” paints will no doubt remember having to run out for extra paint when the paint we have applied has soaked into the wall necessitating two, three and sometimes four coats to cover.  Good quality paint applied over a proper primer/sealer often can provide reasonable coverage in one coat.  Buying higher qualtiy paint that goes much farther, coupled with the discount we enjoy at General Paint, makes this alternative the cheapest way to meet the standards i the PAINT SPECS.  If, however, you have a favourite paint or alternative finish that is not listed, please bring it before the Committee for approval as desc ribed.
