Hi,

I tend to agree as often mentioned that the quality levels of paint from the
different "name brand" paint producers is probably such that the care in the
application is probably more important. And that the differences between
brands is secondary. (live in New England)

But, one does like to have personal experiences and opinions to evaluate, of
course.

So, let me please ask.

For the top of the line in each (BTW: which would be called what for each
?):

Any opinions on California vs Benjamin Moore for Latex exterior house paint
?
Why ?

Thanks,
Bob

Never tried either of those. 20+ years ago, I got hooked on Devoe and
Martin-Senour and never looked back. No reason to change once I've found a
product that always makes me happy.

By the way, perfect technique will not compensate for a product that's
trash.

Consumer Reports just rated paint. Check it out at the library.

Interior Behr has a great rating though I found it drippy. I am not sure
they considered ease of application in their rating.

They don't usually rate professional-grade paints, just the paints marketed
to the DIY crowd, so ignore Consumer Reports when they test paint.

The professionals who painted my house for the builder used the cheapest
paint they could find. The professionals who I hired to do the exterior
normally used Sherwin Williams Duration but used Gliddon Endurance at my
request. There are no magic professional paint around unavailable to
consumers. Paint is one thing Consumer Reports tests well.
