Putting SW Latitude to the test at 36 degrees. Have you tried it? #latitude #itscold

What happens here

Begin by opening the five-gallon bucket of Sherwin-Williams Latitude exterior paint. A paint can opener can be used to carefully pry open the lid. Once open, use a paint stirrer to thoroughly mix the paint, ensuring the color is consistent throughout. Transfer a manageable amount of the 'green black' paint into a smaller, separate white bucket. This smaller container will be easier to handle during application.

Goal: Open and ready paint for application.
