FRAUD PAINT

The worst mistake one is likely to
make in painting is wrong paint; it is
easy to make.
We all say, "Ours is the best"; and
there are 1000 of us. One is best; but
a dozen are so near on a level that
no one knows, for sure. that his is
the one.
The worst paints are worst liars;
they know what they are, put on
bold face, and brazen it out.
Their one true argument is low
price; but low price paint is always,
must be, fraud; it is made to cheat
cheatable people.
