Rented something Professional Grade to day to start my move…hustled 250 boxes from the old house to the new (from the garage to the garage). A relatively new GMC with only 50k miles…old school inside with manual locks, column shift, a physical key but with power windows and power mirrors. I think these have an LS V8, put my foot into it and it moved out pretty well. Though at 65-70 on the freeway it is deafeningly loud with all the squeaks, rattles and crashing over bumps. Did the the job well. Top pic is at my old house, bottom pic at the new place.

I have used Sherwin-Williams before, and it is solid quality paint. There are a few stores around me, but they seem to be more catered to the paint companies and builders. Last time I did the bedrooms, the wife and I went in and we were pretty much blown off. As such, they lost our money and future money. I have to say that Behr Premium Plus is awesome paint on par dollar for dollar with Sherwin-Williams. When my daughter bought her first home 2yrs ago, I smoker sealed the whole inside to seal in any smells, mustiness, etc. Then used Behr Premium Plus on the whole inside. The daughter choose off white also for the whole place. Well-sealed and will last a long time, smells like new. She loves her home. So for me, getting 5 gallon buckets of Behr Premium Paint from Home Depot is how I roll on painting. Got my own splatter gun too that hooks up to my air compressor, so just buy the mud, add water to get it to the proper slurry consistency and then I re-textured the whole inside. Medium splatter and it looks modern even though it was built in 1962.

I don't want to completely hijack @Robert Hall's thread so I'll post my recent painting pictures here. We bought our place with some really crappy light blue paint on some walls and we're finally painting over it. I tried stripping it off, because we like red brick and it's blasphemous to paint over...but that didn't go all that well. We don't want to completely cover the walls with black here so I'm just painting the bit of blue that's showing. I have most of this covered but haven't taken a recent picture. I still have a lot to do though. Brick is a pain in @ss to cover. There are SOOOOOO many nooks and cranny's. Maybe, if I remember when I get home, I'll take some updated pictures.
