I have 100% success from every sale of Emerald Urethane. Home owners and pro contractors. I always recommend an ultra soft high quality brush (Purdy Syntox) and Mohair roller. No matter the sheen the end result will be smooth like it was sprayed. This looks like this is put in too heavy, over worked - maybe the wrong tools. Don’t blame a product for human error.

r/paint on Reddit: Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel Bull Crap. Help?
June 11, 2023 - You do not need mineral sprits to clean up but it surely makes it easier. Urethane behaves most similarly to latex paint when wet and dries nearly as hard as an oil based when fully cured out. ... That final tip-off took me a few tries to get right; particularly with a semi-gloss.

Next best thing to SW Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel in Ultra White for touching up? Also cabinets?
Just get the gallon. Nothing will match exact and if it’s trim and you use your house like a normal person you will have touch ups down the road. More on reddit.com

What primer do you guys use for Sherwin Williams Pro Classic Acrylic Latex on doors, trim, and cabinets?
I see a lot of folks on here using shellac, but I prefer the Extreme Block Oil Primer from Sherwin Williams. It has worked well for me for years. But either one will do the trick. Also, I would like to add that I think Emerald Urethane is head and shoulders above Pro Classic as a finish. More on reddit.com

Reformulated Emerald Urethane | Professional Painting Contractors Forum
October 10, 2021 - Will see if it stays semi gloss or if it turns to an eggshell like the old formula ... I quit using the satin and semigloss a while back. Felt like cheap wall paint. Haven’t tried the new formula yet, but would like to. Right now my local S-W doesn’t have much of anything in stock. They have a sign on the counter stating they have no flat or semigloss in stock. ... Update to my Emerald Urethane project.

Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Tint For Trim and doors - thoughts
July 22, 2021 - Hi, Just got off the phone with Sherwin Williams. I painted my walls SW alabaster and the trim pure white but the colors are too similar so back to repainting the trim. SW suggested Emerald Urethane tint for trim in high reflective white. Would love to hear from anyone that has this paint!

what is Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel? - Old World Farm House
I’m going to be giving you my review of Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel. This is one of those cool new paints that purports to behave like an oil paint, being sturdy and just having a certain luster, but have the ease of cleanup of a water-based paint.

SW's Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel | Sawmill Creek Woodworking Community
August 13, 2020 - The door to my 105 year old Mother's bedroom has marks on it from her wheelchair, but none go through the paint. I haven't tried cleaning any of the tire marks off, because she'll just get it again tomorrow, but I've been very impressed with that. I recently painted a ceiling with Pro Classic, just because they only had gloss in stock of the Urethane.

December 17, 2018 - Once you get your two coats they look great, (i got 1 coat to spray out nicely) Answer me this.. did the semi-gloss look significantly less shiny than other semi s? It just won't ever be a 1st choice. PACMAN nailed it, i was a sherwin williams 100% er, but you have to open your eyes.

April 1, 2021 - This Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel paint is exceptional quality. It really does level out and smooth as it dries! There were brush strokes visible right after I painted them, but they really did disappear! In the past, I chose a semi-gloss finish but this time I chose a satin and I love the velvety finish.
