Glidden Paint?
|
Getting Ready to paint my house. I am going to use roller and brush.
Consumer reports show Flat Glidden Paint (Spread Dura) is the Best Buy at $
15 per gal.
|
Flat paint on an exterior surface?
|
You're thinking that because everyplace on earth, dirt clings better to
exterior flat finishes, it might be true in this case also? :)
|
|
Does anyone have experience with Glidden paints? It is sold by Hone Depot,
which makes me a little leery. Any problems? If so, any recommendations for
better paint?
Has anyone heard of Frazee Paint, which is very popular here in Southern
California?
|
Frazee Paint is used by one builder here and it is exterior for stucco
(Southern Nevada desert) . I can't attest to the quality of the
paint.
I'm using Behr paint on my stucco.

I deal with a lot of painters. Half swear by Duron and the other swear by
Sherwin Williams.
If you go with SW, don't use the Superpaint. The bottom-of-the-line Style
Perfect is the stuff they swear by.....

Just curious: How many gallons of paint would you guess you'll need for this
|
Two reasons:
-Sometimes, people ask similar questions to yours, but they're only talking
about a two gallon job, and then it seems silly not to just buy the best,
which amounts to maybe $14.00 for the two gallons. Paint like Devoe or Pratt
& Lambert.
-In your case, you'd probably get a discount for buying 20 gallons, so maybe
you're talking an extra hundred for all of it. Weigh this against how much
you love to paint. And paint again.

Don't know about Frazee. I've never come across it here in northern
NJ. Benjamin Moore is the big dog around here. It has the brand
recognition my customers want to see. That being said, I've used
Glidden, especially the acrylic primer, and found it to be excellent
paint.
FWIW
YMMV
