Adam specifically informed the salesclerk about his requirement for a paint that will dry overnight because of the predicted rainstorm. Therefore, Adam relied on the salesclerk's expertise to recommend a suitable paint. By providing him with a slow-drying oil-based paint that takes two days to dry, the store has breached the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
