Back to School...

For those of you who don't spend as much time in Home Depot as we do, here's something that might interest your little (or big) co-eds. Glidden & Home Depot have paired up to create Team Colors, a collection of paints representing every one's favorite teams from Nascar, NFL, NHL, Soccer, even Colleges! Use the "team finder" link on the website to find official shades, paint a virtual room & view rooms of fellow fans. Something else to cheer about: these paints are chip/scuff resistant, stain resistant, highly scrubbable and have a lifetime guarantee.

If you or your teammate need some pointers, here is their 4 step game plan for the perfect paint job:

PREPARE THE PLAYING SURFACE:
Spackle holes or cracks
Make sure surface is free of flaking paint, oil, grease or dirt.
Prime with an appropriate GLIDDEN® Evermore™ primer for your project.

USE THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT
Use a 1/4"or 3/8" nap roller and a nylon or polyester brush/paint pad.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN
Stir Glidden® Evermore™ paint thoroughly.
"Cut in" 3" to 4" border around edges, doors and window frames.
Use roller to fill in walls with even strokes, going in the same direction.
Paint woodwork last, using even strokes.

THE WRAP UP
Easily clean up hands and tools with warm, soapy water.
Clean any spills right away with damp cloth.
