**Third in a five-part series with Jon Miller, Manager, Ashland Sherwin Williams

We’re back at it talking all things painting! It's time to talk about some exciting developments from the Ashland Sherwin Williams, Jon Miller! We're going to explore three different tools that Sherwin Williams offers to make your painting projects easier and more efficient. Let's dive in!

First up, we have the Sherwin Williams project checklist. This is a great tool for anyone who wants to make sure they have everything they need before they start a painting project. The checklist is available on the Sherwin Williams website and here and covers everything from the type of paint you need to the tools required for the job. It's a great way to make sure you're fully prepared before you start painting and can save you from any last-minute trips back to Sherwin Williams. Click here for Project Checklist.

Next, they have the quick-release paint roller. This is a game-changer for anyone who's ever gotten frustrated with a traditional paint roller. With a quick-release paint roller, you can change out the roller cover in seconds, making the painting process much faster and more efficient. Many a time I’ve taken the quick-release roller right to the trash can and tapped it lightly on the side of the can and the roller slides right off. Jon says it's great for those who want to use multiple roller covers for different parts of the job, like ones for different room colors. Click here for the quick release paint roller.

Finally, they have virtual color consulting. Jon says this is an amazing tool for anyone who's ever struggled to choose the right paint color. With virtual color consulting, you can work with a Sherwin Williams color consultant from the comfort of your own home. They'll help you choose the perfect colors for your space and even provide a virtual rendering so you can see what your room will look like before you start painting.

All three of these tools are designed to make your painting projects easier and more efficient. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional painter, Sherwin Williams has everything you need to get the job done right.
