Note, availability and pricing may vary by location. You must log in to your Paint Perks account for the discount (will reflect in cart). Some exclusions apply.
Their shelf prices are way overpriced to begin with so this brings it to same price point of competitors. I do like their urethane based trim paint but the price tag on shelf was around $110 which is definitely not worth it without at least 25%+ off. Contractors pricing is of course lower and could be negotiated depending on volumes of paint bought throughout the year.
One trick with these sales is to buy the paint untinted. You can always go back and add whatever tint you need when you are ready to paint. You can also return untinted paint within 30 days if you want to buy now and think it over.
Agreed, unless you get discounted pricing I don't see how it could be worth it outside of convenience. Lowes has SW paint at much lower prices. I used the top tier one that SW has at Lowes for most of my house(interior) and was very pleased with it. I waited until they had a rebate sale (I believe it was $10 off per gallon). The rebate deals pop up once in awhile. I used the middle tier SW paint for closets/low traffic areas and that was pretty good too. Was noticeably different when applying, but still a good paint that I would say for most people is plenty good enough to do the whole house.

What kind of their paint do I need for a front door?
Do some research on how to paint exterior doors - approach is different depending on what the door is made of.
If door gets a lot of sun, you may have fading, depending on the color used.
It's virtually impossible to get a real smooth finish even if using floetrol. There's advice out there to use certain types of rollers, but I tried and tried and could not get anything close to a smooth finish. I ended up sanding the paint down several time (using a multifunction tool) and settling for brush marks, brushing strategically so it looks like wood grain. In the end, it looked super-nice from afar, and the brush marks were fine.

Wouldn't a sprayer have solved that issue? (Genuinely curious)

Possibly. But I wasn't willing to take that step or expense or mess. And it may not have - I've seen reports by people who used them and didn't get the results they wanted. While an expert may be successful with a sprayer, it's not as easy for someone doing it for the first time, and especially not without spending more money than I was willing on a high quality sprayer - plus there's the time and effort of cleaning the sprayer well. Plus needing to invest in a respirator. And from what I saw, there was a good chance of not getting a smooth finish anyhow. So all in all, I didn't take that step.
If you've done such projects yourself, you know that it's never as simple as it seems, especially the first time you do a certain kind of project. Getting super high quality results sometimes requires a lot of experience and spending on more expensive equipment (not always, but sometimes, and the more such projects you do, the better you get at taking on projects in new areas). Others opt to pay someone else, but that wasn't an option, given what I wanted to spend, or accomplish.
In the end, I realized the super smooth finish wasn't necessary. I learned quite a bit through the process, though, and that accumulated knowledge from doing project after project is the reason I do almost all the maintenance and painting in my home. It saves a lot of money, too; paying others for their labor is expensive. By brushing so the finish resembled wood grain, the door looked great, even close up, and from 10 feet away, no one noticed the brush strokes.
Anyone know if Benjamin Moore Paints ever go on Sale? I think SW is fine, and Ill prob pick up a bucket, but I typically prefer BM's quality. I just never see BM deals anywhere.
I've never seen sales, unless it's something like a (small) deal at Ace Hardware (not sure if they still carry BM).
Benjamin Moore Interior contractor grade paint (Ben) does not cover well. Tried an off-white last year and ended up painting over it with SW Super Paint. (I think Ben is the contractor grade.)

If you want Benjamin Moore then spend the money on Benjamin Moore. My father in law owned a painting business for 40 years and did not see the point in using Benjamin Moore over Sherwin Williams because any, debateable, increase in quality was far outstripped by the increase in price.
I just spent 4 days painting my condo on the beach prior to putting it up for sale using Sherwin Williams paint. It worked great and I love the self leveling of the emerald product.
Not directly related to the deal, but a paint store hack in general:
If you're not super concerned about the color or your indecisive, you can ask to see the returns/mis tint pile, where they commonly have everything in the range of five to 10 dollars per gallon, even the top tier stuff. I've done a few rooms for less than the price of 1 gallon off the shelf.
