Cheap house paint

[bullet tooth]

Looking for inexpensive interior house paint -- does anyone know of places that sell their mis-tints for half off, or similar things to that?

I need various colours in various amounts, so I am not looking for gallons of the same paint. I just need to find someone liquidating this kind of stuff -- one of y'all MUST know?!

Thank you!

We have had some success with the Restore with Habitat for humanity. Do you have one near you? Also, often, now that spring is coming and people will begin work on their homes, I find a selection of mistints in the paint section of Home Depot and Lowes. Both of these are hit and miss of course.

I have a friend who painted her large living/dining room/ kitchen by buying similar yellow paints in the mistints section and throwing them together in a five gallon bucket. She added left over trim paint white. The total cost was $34 for a 20x 30 room with 10' ceilings. It was rather impressive and lovely.

Most paint shops sell mistints....you just have to ask. They normally keep the mistints out back in their warehouse awaiting disposal, but they will gladly sell to you for cheap. I bought 4x gallons of mistint for $30.

As for cheap interior paint, I've been using the LOOP paint (Walmart, although I think it's being phased out), and the RONA ECO recycled paint. The RONA paint normally goes on sale for $10 a gallon, and it covers very well. It's all pretinted so you have a selection of about 20 different types.

Thank you!
Gonna try asking at Walmart or similar store first, then hit up the ReStore (which I never even CONSIDERED!)

Thanks again, both!

The Benjamin Moore stor near me always have mistints and it's really cheap and good quality paint.

OMG THAT IS SOMEWHAT THRILLING, but I am not within the region :'(

That's p f'n cool of you to think of me when you saw this, THEN TAG ME SO I CAN SEE IT -- that's the nicest thing that's ever happened on the Internet.

I managed to score a gallon for an obscenely low price on Kijiji in some kind of miraculous feat of luck, so that will keep me busy for while :3

OP, I don't think that the free paint is unique to Durham Region. I think other munipalities also do this one time or another. Maybe you will see it at a local recycling event
