It's time to repaint our kitchen cabinets and some new trim as part of a remodel. SW ProClassic Alkyd is the local spray finish of choice.
There are 3 version of SW ProClassic nowadays,
- Alkyd (oil),
- Waterbased Acrylic-Alkyd
- Waterborne Interior Acrylic Enamel
All 3 are 'out of stock' or 'not available' in my area, in all sheens. Occasionally a gallon or two of Satin shows up.
My local SW dealers can't get any, won't let me order, and have 50-100 gallons of backorders. Apparently the situation sourcing oil-based enamels locally is the same with BM, PPG, Kelley Moore, and others. Some pandemic/supply chain thing, I've heard different unsubstantiated stories from 'on a shipping container in Los Angeles' to 'Texas freeze chemical plant disruption last year'.
Anyone have some other favorites that can be tinted locally?
This job will be sprayed by a contractor. It's too big a job for me. I'm already building a wall of cherry cabinets and a laundry room of painted birch cabinets for this project, and doing electrical,... I can't do everything if I want to move back in before next summer.
On SW's website they are recommending 'Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel' for kitchen cabinets (https://www.sherwin-williams.com/hom...tchen-cabinets), although it is also not currently available.
I think the shortage started with ProClassic Alkyd but has spread to other paints...
