CLEVELAND, May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Easier to hold, easier to carry, easier to store. Dutch Boy® Paints' new 3.5-Gallon Platinum® Plus pail is easier to use for home improvement and paint projects and contains just the right amount of paint for most jobs. Now do-it-yourselfers (DIYers) can get simple solutions in a smarter size at Menards^® stores when they choose Platinum Plus paint + primer for a fantastic finish with exceptional stain resistance.

Say Hello to Convenience

Dutch Boy brand simplifies the painting process with products for every price point, extensive color options and inspiration and advice for redecorating homes. The new 3.5-gallon pail is another option from Dutch Boy, offering DIYers the optimal volume of Platinum Plus paint for transforming indoor spaces using an ultra-premium formula with Stain-Shield Technology that allows stains to be easily wiped away.

Providing enough paint for a typical project, but weighing less than larger options, the new pail is perfect for creating a kitchen paradise, refreshing rooms wall-to-ceiling or placing color in all the right places such as doors, cabinets and trim. For DIYers, there's less to carry around and less to worry about, whether it's gallons of paint going to waste or having to manage several smaller containers.

"Often a single gallon is too little while five gallons might be a bit too much," says Julie Fisher, product manager for Dutch Boy Paints. "After talking to our customers, we expanded our offering to give them Platinum Plus in a pail that's the ideal size for projects around the home. DIYers still get a large volume of paint but without the strain of a bigger pail, so your back and shoulders get a break. It's a great value with the added benefit of avoiding lots of leftover paint or having to make extra trips to the store to buy more."

Now at Menards
