I don't think Home Depot sells it. They have it at Aboffs.

I have my WHOLE house to paint I wonder how much I am going to spend

I know me too. I just realized that. I thought pain was like $10 per gallon or something like that. I was considering using the Ralph Lauren paint, but everyone is raving about Ben Moore.

I think we paid close to $25-30 a can of BM at Aboffs. They have coupons or sales in the Pennysaver sometimes though so check for that!

I got mine at Janovic's (sp?). If you have your contractor go there the paint is cheaper.

Home Depot doesn't sell it. My Dad is a painter and wallpaper hanger and his prefered paint to use is Benjamin Moore. We used it in every room! The colors are great!

Re: wow benjamin moore paint is expensive

we paid like 35 dollars a gallon and then i bought a quart and it was like 90 dollars they dont sell it at home depot. i bought mine at aboffs on hempstead turnpike. i like the colors that ralph lauren has but the last time i used it it just didnt look right it didnt look even and was hard to work with. so im going to try ben moore now. i love to paint i cant wait to get to it.

If you like a color that Ralph Lauren offers, bring the chip to Aboffs and they should be able to mix you the same color in Benjamin Moore paints.

Sears' paint ( I think it is called easy Living ) is good too & les expensive. Its all my dad will use. He didn't like the paitn at Home Depot.

I just used it to paint back my old apartment & it went on very smotthly & covered well.

Re: wow benjamin moore paint is expensive

Thats funny I was in Aboff's this weekend on Hempstead Tpke. They are all so nice and helpful in there. We didn't realize how expensive Ben Moore paint is either . We are also painting every single room. The whole place is white and I love color. We picked out all our colors. Took us a few hours...lol. But I am so excited. The darker colors are more expensive also. We are doing a deep red in the dining room and deep colors are more expensive. Oh well. I know it will look great and so many people have told us Ben Moore is the way to go with paint.
