    Dark Paint scratches easily!
    I hired a man to paint my entire house. It is 3,000 square feet. He charged $9,000. He is very detailed and organized, so I agreed. Well, we are using an espresso colored Sherwin Williams Oil based paint for all doors, woodwork, cabinets, and trim. He added PASO to it to make it a little less shiny. It scratches VERY easily. He did use primer before he painted, and he air-brushed everything to make it smooth. Is there a certain length of time before it cures? Is this normal? I love how everything looks, but hate how easy it scratches. Have I made a huge mistake!
