An outrageaous trip a a home depot. / myLot

I went to a home depot today with the painter to buy the rest of the paint. The color´s name was not found. Worse still, as we had not brought a code (thanks be given we later found it on one of the old tins), the employee told us we could hammer down a piece of the wall so that he could match the color. OMG!!! We came back without what we needed so the rest of the paint job will be done later. Have you been told stupid things by a salesman?

LOL, you know that is how painters do match paint, they take a chip. That salesman made it sound horrible. Yes now they put the code on the cans lids.

I think he wanted a slice of paint from the wall.

You can´t do that without destroying the house.

Lol oh yeah that's a real great salesman telling you to break a portion of the wall just to match the color. What absolutely awful advice

This is the first time I hear of that nonsense. And he wasn´t joking.

Luckily they put the codes on the tins here which makes matching easier.

as long as you get the right color, there is no problem in hammer down the wall

I never buy my paint there.The sales man mostly do not know anything about paint.They never get it mixed right. I go to the professional.Cost a bit more but worth it.No home depot.I had experience with them.

I suppose It depends on the money you have to spend.
