Sherwin Williams also makes Dutch Boy paint. Does that mean that Dutch
Boy is as good as Sherwin Williams, which is as good as Martin Senour?
The same parent company (whose name I forget) makes Milwaukee, Ridgid
and Ryobi power tools. So a Ryobi drill is as good as a Milwaukee?

And possibly Black & Decker - at least I've seen B+D bench drills using
the same basic frame as Ryobi ones, with just a few minor detail changes.
Seems like it's getting harder and harder to shop around for a good
product these days because so many of them are sharing components (car
makers seem to have been good at this one for years) - which is all well
and good when they're *good* components...

That's because they are all made off-shore in Chinese"cottage"
factories. Doesn't matter who owns the name, who imports them, or what
name is on them.
They are very seldom even "designed" by the brand holder - much-less
built by them.
Different colour resin in the molds makes a different product case.
One brand might get better wire connecting the brushes, or perhaps a
better switch, if they are willing to pay a bit more than the other
brand - but then again, mabee not.

I didn't know SW made Martin-Senour, but why does that matter? They're still
two very different products.

Considering that they are college students, I'd say the less they do,
the better. Let the paint cure, at least two weeks. Next time dad
visits the dorm (you do, don't you?), take along a razor scraper and
trim the drips. Don't want sharp objects in the hands of children :o)
Gloss latex? What color?
Only other alternative would be to try to remove all of the paint, not a
chore for children of any age :o)
