Experts predict a paint shortage in the U.S. [View all]

There's been no shortage of, well, shortages over the last year. The latest to add to the list? Paint. According to Sherwin-Williams' CEO John Morikis, the industry is struggling to keep up with high demand after Hurricane Ida halted production of some of the key chemicals and resins needed to make paint. "The persistent and industry-wide raw material availability constraints and pricing inflation...have worsened, and we do not expect to see improved supply or lower raw material pricing in our fourth quarter as anticipated," he said.

If you're planning a home makeover in the next few months or want to paint a room in your house, you may want to go ahead and snag the paint you need now.
