What can I say as this company clocks out after serving you independents for 27 years? “Thanks for the memo-ries?” Nah. “Best of luck?” Sure, but all you indies need more than luck to survive out there. “See you again down the road?” You can bet that won’t be happening! You will probably be hearing from Jerry Rabushka in some form or fashion in 2019, but it won’t be in these mags. As for me, I am outta here, riding off into the sunset to what hopefully will be the final job in my professional career. I’ll be working for one of the largest engineering firms in the world, doing Site Acquisition Management in the cellular industry, something I’ve been doing on and off for the last almost 20 years.

For Jerry, you have always been much more than a good employee. You have been, and will remain, a good friend! You have been my sounding board, my counselor, my cohort here as we tried so hard to make the best magazines we could afford to produce. You were my conscience when I wanted to put things in the magazine you knew we shouldn’t. You talked me off the ledge when there were manufacturers I wanted to bludgeon for not pay-

ing their bills, or who treated us extremely poorly, and you stood by me when we had really tough decisions to make here. You are the most talented individual I know, bar none. You have unlimited potential, whether it is in writing for this or another industry, recording music, playing live shows, acting in, writing, or directing your own award-winning plays, and whatever else you choose to do with your life. You are a “talent”, and the rewards will come your way. Thank you for being a huge part, probably the most important part, of this long strange trip!

Kathy Tongay-Carr, you are an incredible talent as well. No matter what we threw at you, no matter how hard it was to graphically produce what we needed from you, no matter how short the deadline, you answered every bell every time we rang you up. You too have been a great friend, who stood by us when things were at their darkest and you continued to produce the best graphics any trade publication could hope to have. I will enjoy my many memories of you (and your Mom!) and

just want to say thank you for all you have ever done for us!Sue Oden has done her time with us for almost eight years, and I thank you personally for all your hard work.

You will always be a good friend of mine, and I wish you the very best in your future. You are the lady who faces daily some of the hardest living situations anyone can face. With your son, “Quint,” your daily struggles have only been compounded while working for us, and except for one measly really bad day, we never did not see a smile grace your face. No matter what life or this company would throw at you, you trudged on to meet every challenge head on. And thanks for being my “weird tacos” friend in Vegas when no one else wanted to give it a try! I have such strong admiration for you Susan, and I can only wish you the very best going forward.

Mike Smoot has only been with us a year, but it was a really bad year for us, and yet you still showed up for almost every meeting, ready to meet the challenges ahead and ready to help in any way you could. You came to us when we were at our lowest point, but yet you viewed your job here as a challenge you were willing to accept. Our friendship will continue, and not just on the golf course—but one day soon, I will beat you on the scorecard! FORE!

To our writers new and old, including Mark Lipton, his daughter Miranda, Josh Bohm, Erick Gatcomb, Chas Wolfson, and many others, thanks for putting up with me and Mug Pub Inc. Your strong efforts will never be forgotten, at least not by me.

Finally, Mom & Dad. While you are not here to see the end, I know you are up above looking down on us, happy in the knowledge that we are doing right here by sticking a fork in this thing. Dad bet his life on this magazine and it paid off in spades. He made a commitment to you independent dealers and he busted his butt to deliver for you! Mom always had an encouraging word for us, and never let us get too down on ourselves when ad sales just stopped coming. I love you both and I’ll see you when I see you.

Thanks to all you readers for your unwavering loyalty to us. We know we helped many of you to be the best you can be, and I wish you all nothing but the best in the years to come.

That’s a wrap folks, catch you on the flipside. Peace Out! TPD

As a bonus, we offer Green Quantified™: an exclusive influence on tangible waste generation. Today’s paint re-use and recycle system, the second and third “R”, is costly because it relies on waste creation to be successful. This is reactionary. EVOpaint™ prevents maximum life-cycle wastes at the source, by replacing multiple coats, relying on the first “R”- Reduce. This makes it the only sustainable system.

2019 Colors of the YearPPG’s 2019 honors go to Night Watch (PPG1145-7), described as a rich, luxurious, and classic shade of green allowing spaces to emulate the feeling of lush greenery and the healing power of nature. Night Watch’s versatility allows the color to be used in a variety of rooms and design segments from healthcare to commercial and residential design.

“The restorative power of nature is important in society now more than ever,” explains Dee Schlotter, PPG senior color marketing manager. “Night Watch is about bringing the healing power from the outdoors into your home through color. The dark green hue pulls our memories of natural environments to the surface to recreate the calming, invigorating euphoria we feel when in nature.” ppgvoiceofcolor.com

Diamond Vogel’s 2019 Color of the Year is Day Spa (0634), a saturated navy that connects spaces, cultures, and generations. Its flexibility delivers color that is comfortable in interiors or sets a mood of timeless luxury for exteriors. This powerful accent showcases one’s personal style and creates a dramatic backdrop for daily living. “This deep, introspective blue offers quiet reflection and a sense of security at a time we need it most,” explains

Sandy Agar-Studelska, Diamond Vogel marketing manager. “Day Spa unites us with nature, as well as mind and body, and its ageless presence makes it ver-

satile no matter the space. It pairs well with both warm and cool neutrals including grays and is a stunning standalone accent.” diamondvogel.com

For Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year, please see page 35.

Sure, we’re just getting into winter, but we asked our long-time color correspondent, Kristin Summer of Colors With Kristin, to peer into a crystal ball

marked 2019. Not only is she reporting on ’19, she’s tyring to change the game. “We still

can’t seem to get rid of that darn gray, but I am part of the team that’s working on it!” she said. “If anything, it is at least steering towards greige (grey/beige).”

And while she’s try-ing to slow down one trend, she’s happy about another. “I’m on board with Ben Moore’s Color of the Year selec-tion of Metropolitan,”

she said. “I’ve been using it for a few years as a base color in many of the homes where I design.” It’s a great start, as a main color in one room as well as a springboard for introducing other colors in that room and rooms nearby. “Having it in a main area such as the living room, entryway, or family room leaves us open to bringing more colors into nearby rooms,” she advised. “Accent colors used with Metropolitan can then serve as a harbinger of a different scheme in adjoining rooms. It’s a true go to for me!” said Summer.

ronments,” Kristin continued. “We are welcoming warm tones back and celebrating craftsmanship and personal touches.”

We don’t recommend you ask people who they voted for, but bear in mind that more than ever, many of your customers see their home as a sanctuary as anxiety over current events is driving them towards a more calming color scheme. “I always feel our color trends go hand in hand with politics,” said Summer. “We are looking for the safety in nature and are staying in blues, greens, beige, soft pinks, and corals. Blues make us feel safe. The deeper blues the better this year—and lots of it!”

While home can be a ref-uge, it’s also a place to have fun. “Being bold is back,” she stated. “Along with that, there is more of a sense of playing, so there is lots of mixing and matching with colors with more of a sense of play and personal touch,

and less feeling stuffy and sterile. We want to feel comfort in our homes and environment.”

Be an Angle Angel All rooms aren’t the same, and the more you or your

designer knows about the shape of the room in relation to the rest of the house, the more effectively you can plan for color. “Proper use of a space is key to great design,” Sum-

mer reminded us. “All walls, angles, and the ceiling should be considered before making the decision for the room colors.” Note the angle color in the photo, and seriously, she entreats—don’t forget the ceiling! “I’ve had clients become more open to paint-ing angles a different color or painting the trim deeper colors while keeping walls neutral. It becomes much more personal when they step outside that box. It cre-ates a fun and exciting space!”

Benjamin Moore’s 2019 Color of the YearBenjamin Moore recently announced its anticipated Color of the Year 2019—Metropolitan (AF-690), a stylish gray with cool undertones. “Comforting, composed and effortlessly sophisticated, Metropolitan exudes beauty and balance,” said Ellen

O’Neill, Benjamin Moore Director of Strategic Design Intelligence. “It’s a color in the neutral spectrum that references a contemplative state of mind and design. Not arresting nor aggressive, this understated yet glamorous gray creates a soothing, impactful common ground.”benjaminmoore.com

Well we’ve sure spent a bit of time saying goodbye and wrapping things up. But we

know as we head into 2019 that painters will still paint, manufacturers will still manufacture, retailers will still sell. We’ve seen retailers come and go over the years, and we’ve spoken with several who have retired this year and closed up their business, some after

nearly half a century. We brought you a lot of news over the years, from the beginnings of low VOC paint to the beginnings of low temperature paint, sometimes even high temperature paint. Back in the day we wrote articles on the differences between water based and oil based, and eventually those articles didn’t matter anymore. Oil based house paint…what’s that?

We’ve seen the venerable 240-year-old Devoe Paint get acquired, traded, and rebranded; we’ve seen Jones-Blair, Porter, Duron, Mythic, Purdy, Flood, Pratt & Lambert and many more get acquired or retired. We’ve seen new brush filaments for new paints, seen new roller fabric, new tape, new caulk. We’ve visited dealers from Jacksonville Beach, FL to Fairbanks, AK; from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island to Honolulu, HI. We’ve been to about 25 National Hardware Shows in Chicago, Orlando, and Las Vegas.

During these last few weeks we’ve received calls and letters from readers and even former industry players—one paint dealer called us in tears at the thought of losing our publication. Thanks to all of you who shared your thoughts and good wishes—as a writer and just as a human being, my goal at this job (beyond paying mortgage and electric-ity) was to make a difference to people. It’s nice to know that as a company we were successful in doing so, maybe even beyond what we thought. We asked a few industry people if they would like to share any final thoughts, these are printed below.

“On behalf of everyone at ArroWorthy we would like to wish you the best of luck on your new journey. It’s been a wonderful experience work-ing with all of you over the years. You will be missed. All the best.”

Roland Kolilias, VP ArroWorthy

“It has been our pleasure working with The Paint Dealer over the years. We have the utmost appreciation for both the magazine and its readers for supporting Ben-jamin Moore and wish everyone success in the future.”

Deborah DeHamilton, Senior Manager, Media and Activations, Benjamin Moore

“For many years, we’ve enjoyed being part of The Paint Dealer and what it has represented in the industry. Your fresh and insightful focus on the independent paint dealer has been an inspiration, and has been much appreciated at Corona, where we share your commitment to the independent. We will miss that voice and wish you all best of luck in the future.”

Ben & Michael Waksman and the entire Corona Brushes family

“Learning that TPD Magazine is in its final run, I am reminded of the indispensable value of family. Realizing I will no longer be waiting to read each month’s pages, I now understand that while I was navigating the content for business, I was actually reaffirming and recommit-ting myself to my family, business and independent customers.

“Hans, through his parents, created something beyond the technical, into the intangible, and people gravitated towards it. I know I did, because the common threads of TPD, were, and are, also mine.

“Thank you Hans, Jerry, and team for helping continu-ously renew my personal and business commitment for the paint store out there who is in need of refuge in a market that is becoming unrecognizable to the needs of independents.”

Tony Margani, Executive VP Sales & MarketingEVO Paints

“We thank The Paint Dealer for supporting this small, family owned paint manufacturing business over the past

several years!”Anne Thibeau, President, Old Fashioned Milk Paint

“Thank you for everything you’ve done for our industry over the years. It has truly been a pleasure to work with such a great group at Mugler Publications. We are sorry to see you go and wish you and your readership the best in future endeavors.”

Brandon Paas, JoMarie Pagano, and the staff at Intertape Polymer Group

“Jerry, and everyone at TPD, as you move towards your final issue, I want to take a moment, simply, to say thank you. You were supporters, cheerleaders, and professionals not only in the world of paint, but in nurturing individuals, companies, and ideas. I am better for having collaborated and having become friends with you. Thanks for letting me share your world.”

Mark Woodman, mark woodman design+color llc

“PPG is grateful to The Paint Dealer for its many years of collaboration and support, and for allowing us to share our industry expertise with independent paint dealers throughout North America. We wish you all the very best.”

Jennifer Albert, PPG Paints Senior Marketing Manager, Architectural Coatings.

telling and long history of collaboration with our Duck®, T-REX®, FrogTape®, Painter’s Mate® and Shurtape® brands. As a longtime supporter and friend to both outlets, we extend our well wishes on future endeavors.”

Who knows how many people over the years chose a Wooster tool after reading our advertising or product features in your magazines’ pages?! Thank you to The Paint Dealer and The Paint Contractor for your contributions to the industry we all care so deeply for.”

Tim Yates, Communications & Multimedia Manager, The Wooster Brush Company

MARK LIPTON

38 TPD › 12.18

My fiancée has a strange habit. She marks the passage of time by noting the closest holiday to the current spot on the calendar and declaring “I can’t believe it’s Valentines Day already: I can’t believe it’s Tax Day already, I can’t believe it’s July 4th already!” and so on through the year. As I sit to write this, she’s laying on the couch doing her Black Friday shop-ping mumbling “I can’t believe Thanksgiving is over already!

I can’t believe it’s Christmas already!” Neither can I! And I’m grateful for

the reminder to do a year-end column. This year was a good one for our industry (mostly: see more below) and independents. I participated in that success and know that many of you did as well. My stores did well. We saw increased sales (slightly) and increased profit margins (nicely higher) while labor costs stayed fairly stable. I did more consulting this year than usual with less travel, also making for a good 2018.

But 2018 is not the only thing we are saying goodbye to. The issue of The Paint Dealer that you hold in your hands will be the last.

Goodbyes are hard-est when goodbye is not what we want to say! After a 26-year run, The Paint Dealer magazine is no more. It is time to say goodbye to a publication that has given great voice to our struggles. For decades, The Paint Dealer has been the chronicler of our lives as independent paint retailers.

And I don’t want to say goodbye!My time with The Paint Dealer lasted longer than my

marriage! I don’t even recognize the young man in the pictures of me from back then—he had far too much hair and was much too skinny for my taste. I was 30 years old and just two years in a paint store when I began writing here. At the time, my view of the paint business was that of the few blocks around my store.

Blink forward a few decades and here we are, forced to say goodbye. When TPD first began, there were just a few places to get industry news tailored to the independent paint retailer. As TPD leaves the stage, that is still the case. The PDRA does a nice job with its magazine and there are a few other outlets, but the truth is that publishing is a troubled industry and it seems unlikely that new magazines will pop up to cover independent retailers. Though we are a multi-billion dollar segment of a large industrial segment of the economy, we are too small a collection of people to

profitably make a publication just for independents.But we have not changed all that much! Yes, there are

fewer independents now than there were a few decades ago, but not that significantly. What did bring on the end of TPD were the costs of publishing and physically distrib-uting a paper magazine in a time when most information gets distributed at a very low cost via the ether. Consolida-tion at the manufacturer level also caused problems for TPD: fewer companies mean fewer advertisers.

Still though, independent paint retailers are significant enough in number that we warrant coverage: and a voice! I have a plan to provide that.

About the time my fiancée started saying “I can’t believe it’s Halloween already” I set up a new website: MarkLipton-Paint.com. Going forward, I will continue my writing and will publish it there. But I plan more than just posting my own writing. I have already spoken to other dealers, as well as people from other planets in our orbit, whom I think dealers would be interested in hearing from. My hope is to create a space for dealers and others in our industry to share what they have learned, directly with you. I hope to

post podcasts so that people who are important to all of us can reach us in that easy to use medium.

I’m excited and hope to deliver some great content, curated by me: tailored to you. But to make it work, I’ll need followers—and that’s where you come in. Please go to MarkLiptonPaint.com and enter your email address. After you do, you can click on the word “blog” on that page to go see what’s already there. The only thing else that is required after that is to read what I send you. I will not be pounding your in-box nor will I be selling your email addresses. Just content specific to independent paint retailers, delivered directly to your email. I hope to see you there.

Thank you as always, for reading my work. It means a lot to me. Please join me in wishing the best of luck to my Paint Dealer family as they too move on to new chapters in their lives.
