Oops Paint

Did you know that paint retailers have a section in their paint department where they sell “mistakes” for a fraction of the cost? (Sometimes its not a mistake but a return.)

Sometimes mistakes happen when mixing paint. Or a customer changed their mind. It is still a good can of paint and kudos to them for not throwing it out! See if your store has a shelf “Oops Paint” – always check it first when you are out shopping for paint. You can find a $20 gallon of paint for $5 or less – and if it’s an odd color – perhaps you can use it for a craft. Even if you pay as much as $10 (I’ve never paid that much) that is still a gallon for what you would pay for a big tube of acrylic paint used for crafts and art.

Check the stores often, the Oops Paint sells quickly! Remember to improvise – if a color is too dark or intense for your needs – mix some white in it. If its a gloss and you happen to have some flat white – the result will be more of a satin finish. Check it out, improvise, get creative!
