Paint yellowed _ HELP!
Finished major job and the paint failed. Remodeled kitchen and
bathrooms less than 6 months ago. All surfaces were sanded and primed with Kilv. Painted "new" cabinet doors (27), kitchen & bathroom cabinets, baseboard/trim, wood "room entry " doors (2), metal louvered doors (2) with "Glidden Gloss White Commercial Grade Enamel; Interior/Exterior Ultra Hide Oil Alkyd Gloss; GL 3518-0100 White". The existing paint on the trim was Benjamin Moore Oil base enamel (confirmed w/ receipts and "paint-can" before beginning project). All painted surfaces including the paint running down the front of the can has yellowed! There are no smokers in the house. The air conditioning or heat is running at all times depending on the season. Urgently need to know if other folks have same results with the Gliddin Ultra Hide Oil Alkyd Gloss white paint. Before beginning the project, the cabinet maker and I discussed the surfaces to be covered with Home Depot paint department employee who advised this was the best paint to use for each surface and recommended to prime with Kilv. Now the Glidden Representative says if there is not sunlight in the house the paint will yellow. How can a product be legally labeled "Interior / Exterior" when the sunlight is not shining in houses on baseboard, cabinets, doors, etc. and artificial lights are not on in every room 24/7? Representative also referred me to label on can in small print that states "Important: Alkyd or oil-based enamels may yellow in time in the absence of light, especially sunlight." (Is this "may" to be intrepreted as "will"? Is "in time" to be intrepreted as immediately? The painting was completed Nov 2003 which is less than 6 months! I certainly appreciate a few minutes of your time if you will please email me @ and post to this news group any suggestions and/or like circumstance you are aware of. Thank you very much. . jhs |

Paint yellowed _ HELP!

There's not much you can do if it is printed on the can, you can try small claims court depending on the amount of damages and see what the courts say. Go to www.troubleshooter.com where you can expose to the country these shady business practices. This is a radio program that works on and off the air to solve consumers problems, they may have some suggestions or even put one of their attorneys on it. If nothing else you can bring this to the attention of thousands of people as you are doing here and possibly hurt their sales for some satisfaction. The Troubleshooter may have other people with the same issue or people can call in with their complaints about this. It's a pretty effective way to get results. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Babbling Brook Photography Quality Framed Photography of the Great Outdoors. 30 Day Money Back Guarantee! http://www.babblingbrookphotography.com Appreciate your reply. I will contact the reference you sent for www.troubleshooter.com. Glidden representative made a site visit and agreed something must be wrong with the paint. He took the can to Home Depot so it could be tested by Glidden. I picked the can up after a few hours so I still have posession of the product. Will post again on this site as things progress. Certainly hope others have had the same experience and will respond. Thank you. "jhs" wrote in message om... Finished major job and the paint failed.
