Paint Buyer's BEWARE!!! Great Lakes Ace Hardware, Bellevue, OH has implemented a policy of only "paint shaking" FULL GALLONS of paint purchased. So, particularly if you buy an "oil based paint" and you don't use the full gallon on your project and want to have your remaining paint shaken for a good "homogenous mix", SORRY, they will only be giving you a paint stir stick. Store Manager advised that, "yes", even though their paint shaker does have "clips that are suppose to hold the paint lid in place during shaking, their model has "spring loaded clips" that just don't seem to be able to do the job. Maybe they need to look into buying another type of paint shaker that will shake even a 1/3 of a gallon of paint without concern for paint leakage as a customer service. Sherwin Williams is my preferred paint store and are always accommodating on paint shaking but did not carry this particular paint so I was forced to buy this paint from Ace Hardware. Wanted you to know before you buy that your purchase will be a "one and done". read more
