Newest Shortage? Paint

TheTimeTraveler · 10-03-2021, 10:01 AM

Apparently the Hurricane in Louisiana caused some companies to shut down that make chemicals for paint, and that there will be a serious paint shortage occurring within a few months.

This is the first I have heard of this. Has anyone noticed any scattered paint shortages or higher costs as a result of this or is this just BS...?

Some of the manufacturers that I follow have provided a caution as they assess what the impacts of the hurricane have on supply and demand.

My son works at Sherwin Williams and has reported the shelves near empty for months already with no cure in sight. The store he works at services primarily commercial accounts.
