Short Note for Paint Desk (show this)

I am unable to speak, so I’m showing you this.

Primer:

  • Please give me three (3) 1‑gallon cans of ZINSSER COVER STAIN oil‑based primer, white.

  • Tint ALL THREE cans medium gray. This is to cover very bright green and bright pink walls.

Wall paint (dark charcoal):

  • I need three (3) 1‑gallon cans of GLIDDEN SPRED Interior Paint + Primer, FLAT, TINTABLE BASE.

  • Tint ALL THREE to a very dark charcoal gray, about HEX #222222 (soft black/charcoal).

  • Make it darker than Glidden “Elegant Charcoal 00NN 20/000” but NOT as dark as full black (like “Black Magic”).

  • Finish: FLAT only.

Trim:

  • One (1) gallon interior SEMI‑GLOSS WHITE paint for trim and doors (bright white).

Returns:

  • These are all sold by Walmart.

  • If any cans stay UNOPENED, can I return them within 90 days?

  • Please mark my receipt “OK to return unopened tinted paint” or “No returns on tinted paint” so I know the rule.

Thank you.
