Kelly Moore, Benjamin Moore, Sherman William, Glidden, Berr, Etc...
In Painting the Exterior of a house, is there really that big of a
Difference in the Paint itself, or are we just talking colors or?
I was recommended some Benjamin Moore paint and for this project I need to
cut some costs. Will Glidden or Home Depot Paint work just as well?
Thanks,
Scott<-

Try Consumer Reports. They do actual testing and have data available,
which I'd rely on more than random opinion.

And according to Consumer Reports, Behr paint (Home Depot) is rated the
best.

According to Consumer Reports the very best exterior paint is
California (flat, 90%), followed by Glidden (semi-gloss, 87%). Behr
(Premium Plus, 59%) was number 13. When I used the "best" Behr
exterior, which had a "lifetime guarantee", it was peeling in less than
2 years, and it was over a properly prepped and primed shed with brand
new siding. Thank goodness the shed was small! In my opinion Behr is
the worst paint ever, but of course, YMMV.

Okay, "California" paint is not sold in my state (Texas). If I bought some
of their flagship 2010 Residential Paint base, could one of their
competitors (HD, Sherwin-Williams, etc.), do the color match?
