Now I can't even find conflex paint for stucco. What the fuck is going on? I'm in Texas if it matters. Lowes still carries Showcase. Probably not as much as you need since you seem to be someone who uses paint quite a bit, but it's an option Re: Builders Solution and Conflex Basically SW is in a bind right now. The storm in Texas basically fucked our supply chain and we're making paint as fast as we can and sending it to stores. You being in Texas means you're even more affected than the rest of the country (who is dealing with it as well). Builders Solution is really crappy paint to where some stores don't even carry it since it's always sold under cost. Since we barely make money off of it the company is going to focus on paint that makes them more. It's shitty for people who use cheaper paint, but yeah Conflex is an elastomeric so it takes more resins than traditional acrylic paint does. Thus they're not making any right now since for every pail of Conflex they can make 3 or 4 pails of Superpaint. Plus Conflex is so thick you need twice as much anyway It's a really crappy situation and I don't know the best way for the company to keep profits up and keep customers happy Flauros posted... Do you wear one of those "cover the earth" shirts? I have like 30 of them from the 1970s that my dad acquiesced from his teenage job at SW. The store is still there to this day and looks old AF My work shirts don't have the "cover the Earth" logo on them but I have a couple sweaters that do. And yeah, they don't close stores until they start to lose money and traffic. There are stores in my district that have been there for 40+ years <cite>PaintMonkey posted [p:956247338] in I'm a mana...
