It's just like having a color matched from a swatch of fabric or whatever.<br /><br />Hope that helps!<br />AllisonAllisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411984306425518138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695486203371270505.post-20077384598334864252011-09-29T00:25:28.067-04:002011-09-29T00:25:28.067-04:00Hello Ladies...anyone care to share the name of th...Hello Ladies...anyone care to share the name of the "matched color"?

BUT, you must paint in full up and down strokes or you get lots of streaks. I primed in a Benjamin Moore semi-gloss 'matched color' which worked out perfectly.

I think I may buy ...Thanks for the reply, Allison! <br />I think I may buy a mixed 'semi-gloss' and then have the second coat be metallic not sure... since you said your bathroom is not sweating I am not too concerned. Ours has ample ventilation. Metallic is only $39.98 per gallon at HomeDepot which is pretty much the same price as Benjamin Moore. I figured at least two gallons should do it. You've helped me make a tough decision easier!

I can't remember exactly how much it was, but I want to say I paid like $20 for a quart, so $80 for a gallon. <br />I've read some reviews about metallic paint in general being hard to use, but I really didn't have that problem. <br />Honestly, I'm not sure that I have ever used Behr paint, or that I have used them enough to compare. I just recently repainted my mothers bathroom using Benjamin Moore and I thought it went on nicely, but off the top of my head I have also used Glidden and Royal (from Ace Hardware). I guess I don't have a real favorite yet.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411984306425518138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695486203371270505.post-11300215518418445472011-05-16T23:19:20.495-04:002011-05-16T23:19:20.495-04:00Oh my, you are a doll for writing so late!!!

I had a Bear paint in there before the re-do and it did sweat, but I heard that paint isn't too good?? We typically use Benjamin Moore. Do you think it would be best to paint semi-gloss first (matched color) then the metallic over it? You've been a great help!

I too fell in LOVE with Martha Stewarts 'Bone' color, but I am wondering... since you've painted and since you also do NOT have a window in your bathroom, does the metallic paint sweat at all or leaves streak marks after a steaming shower? I am doing my whole bathroom with the metallic (above chair rail to the ceiling) and have been searching the net ALL day for an answer. I actually left a voicemail with someone at Martha Stewarts headquarters in NYC with hopes that someone will call back before Wednesday when the painter comes!! :-) I hope you can help me out! Please write if tonight or tomorrow cause I am desperate! My husband and I just love this color and finish.
