Sherwin Williams? You don't mean Sears, do you? I used SW only once,
exterior alkyd semi for trim. It was beautiful - the quality is
apparent when it is applied and long after. The difference between
cheap and good paint, even during application, is remarkable. Brushes
out beautifully, levels....just very good stuff.

I haven't handled the particular paint they're using. But they had it shaken
at the SW store, took it straight home and used it. They said it was about
as thick as canned gravy that had been warmed up. Devoe & Martin-Senour are
about 3 times thicker. You can practically ASK the paint to apply itself and
it will obey. I know this sounds like an exaggeration, but it's not much of
one. If you haven't used either of those two brands, you really don't know
what you're missing.

Same here. I've painted with it any a time and it's quite decent. If they
have 'runs' they had to use too much on the brush.
Amusing to me story. Room mate of mine many years ago tried to paint a
window frame. It had runs on it (old dried ones) so she tried to use too
much paint to fill them in! Yup, worse runs.

Unless he finds out his wife used a perfectly good paint brush.
