My new construction home was covered with super low quality Sherman Williams paint. Less than two years later I go to get a can to fix a patch. They discontinued my paint. Great. I had to repaint the whole room. I don’t think I’ll ever let that go.
The color? They should have been able to match any tint. I would imagine the other qualities like finish would have been close enough.
A patch is hard enough to hide without using a paint with a different finish. Yeah, it probably would have been fine. I’d probably be the only person to ever notice. It’s more the principal of them selling bulk paint at the end of its product life cycle with no legacy support. The guy at the counter offered to try and match it then floated just painting the entire room if I wasn’t ok with that. It just rubbed me the wrong way.
With new construction, the problem seems to be the painting sub spraying on the thinnest coat of paint they can get away with.
