As always, I defer to Lori Sawaya in all things color. As should you. Thus, if you are trying to reproduce a very light color, you have that to contend with. I've had to go on several calls because of it. Extra White is at degrees on the Lch color wheel Green-Yellow hue family , with a lightness of Remember, this is just the plain base. Yet Ben Moore's Simply White color is only at You can't make a white base any whiter, and you can't overcome a yellow-green tinge except by adding a certain amount of pigment I can't say definitively, because I've not seen it attempted.
But mechanically, it ain't happening in their Extra White base. Valspar Q. Funny how things change in a short period of time - when I first posted this, I was planning on doing the painting myself. We have not closed on the house and it is hard for me to check anything in person. We were able to get inside the house this weekend and it is now totally empty. We also had a couple of handymen who paint check it out for estimates. It is neutral enough to go with just about anything. If we live in this house long enough we have a bad track record of moving every 2 years I might repaint at a later date.
The handymen decided they didn't want to mess with it since it would be a spray job heavily textured walls and they didn't want to mess up the house with overspray etc. So, at least that part is resolved. However, before we came to this decision I had spent countless hours researching on the internet and stumbled on painttalk. The guys said that the formulations were the same otherwise, sold at Lowe's at a cheaper price. Hope this info helps anyone else out there who is looking for info on SW at Lowe's.
I far prefer BM to SW both for performance and hue but an excellent painter and careful prep work is way more important. The base won't let you. Unless you are painting for someone colorblind in a north aspect room with one clerestory window and a 20W bulb for illumination. Sometimes painting myself, more often hiring a pro.

Answer: Yes, but the surface needs to be sanded and primed first with a bonding primer. Question: How would using a first coat primer and second coat of Sherwin Williams Duration do? Answer: If the colors are similar, one coat of exterior Duration would be fine, but drastic color changes might require a second coat of paint for solid coverage, or you can have the paint store tint the primer similar to the paint color so it covers well. Keep in mind though that only one coat of paint often reduces the durability and intended sheen.
One coat of paint in a satin finish won't be as shiny and smooth as two coats. Exterior Duration is very thick though and covers well in one coat, with or without primer, if the paint color is similar to existing color. I always apply two coats of paint for maximum durability.
I've never had a call back. Latex wall paint in general doesn't dry as hard as other coatings like door and trim enamel. If you want a harder finish on the walls you're better off using enamel. For the trim, if you used the Duration on that too, the paint is too soft to be used for that purpose. You could sand the walls and paint over the Duration with enamel, or another coating with a harder finish.
I've used Duration for many years and never had any problems. The matte and satin finish are washable and touch up good. I used interior Duration about 5 weeks ago and the walls arent sticky but the paint is very soft. Also, im finally getting around to spraying the already installed trim and green frogtape is pulling off some of the paint. Any insights or recommendations?
The matte finish is less shiny than the satin finish and will probably show less of the imperfections on your walls. You're still going to see it with any glossy paint on the walls. Would you say that the Matte finish in Duration will show imperfections in the wall? I have orange peel texture on the walls in this room and it is currently painted in a flat finish, but the painter who will be painting the room said he generally uses a satin finish.
Would satin show more of the orange peel shadowing than a matte would? I use Duration when I paint outside and never had any callbacks with that product. I've never used the acrylic Emerald exterior paint if that's the product you're referring to. From what I understand, the exterior Emerald acrylic is supposed to be very durable and mildew resistant. Sherwin Williams advertises it as an upgrade from Duration exterior. It's expensive. If the stucco is prone to mildew from the humidity down there that might be why the painter wants to use Emerald.
If your concern is with the satin finish itself, satin will be easier to maintain because it won't collect dirt as easily as flat paint. You can hose it down easier, but your stucco will be shiny too. Some folks like flat paint on their stucco. We live in southwest florida and the painter wants to use Emerald Exterior Satin to repaint our stucco home.
Does this sound right? Matt G. As a Sherwin Williams Manager. I thank you for giving good accurate advice about Sherwin Williams products! Thank you! The satin finish of Duration exterior paint is more shiny and durable than the flat finish. Two coats of the flat finish does have a slight sheen too, but the satin finish is the better choice for your siding if you'll be cleaning it a lot.
This paint is very durable and adheres really well to aluminum siding. I've used Duration on many aluminum sided homes, including my own, without any problems. Power wash the siding really good before painting. Apply two coats. Im considering using 2 coats of Duration Satin on my aluminium sided home because I hear it will clean up easier.
I decided on satin because I read satins have more polymers or resins which make the paint more durable and help adhere better than flat paints. Will flat hold up to yearly cleaning, sometimes using spray washer and will 2 coats of flat provide a sheen?
Exterior Duration will cover good in one coat, but that depends on the color you're painting over. The paint is very thick. One coat of this product will be durable, but two coats is always going to be better. I personally apply two coats when I use this paint outside. I feel better walking away from two coats, instead of one, but it's up to you. Another consideration is the paint finish you chose. If you're using the satin finish, it's going to be less shiny and smooth with only one coat. Doing Dovetail Gray Is it overkill to do 2 coats with everything new?
Thanks for you comment. I've used Duration for many years and never had the issue you mentioned, but this sounds like a bonding issue that could have been caused by a number of things.
Was the original paint on the wall oil-based, or glossy? Was the primer and paint allowed to dry completely before re-coating. I'm curious what additional prep work was done, as well as the type of primer that was used. If the original paint happened to be oil, acrylic latex paint doesn't bond well to these coatings without using a bonding primer first.
The surface also needs to be thoroughly sanded to maximize the bond with primer and paint. If the original paint was a latex paint in a glossy finish like satin, or semi-gloss, that would also need to be sanded and primed before painting.
If the walls were greasy, or dirty, this could have also contributed to the problem. As far as the touch ups, lighter colors with an extra white base touch up well in my experience, but deep base colors, especially darker red, blue, or green, are difficult to touch up without seeing marks, no matter what paint is used.
If nothing I mentioned applies to your situation then you might want to contact the store manager. It's possible you bought a bad batch of paint, but this sounds more like the primer and paint not being able to form a solid surface bond. I have used Sherwin williams duration paint to paint the whole house. Here are the issues I ran into with it. I will never use it again! Expensive paint that doesn't perform.
For example if I mount a fixture and move it by slightly it takes off the paint. Then if I run my finger along it, the paint will just keep peeling requiring refill and repaint.

We're just getting ready to have the exterior of our home painted it is presently stained but we want to opt for paint for a longer finish.
Our painter, whom we respect greatly, has recommended SW Duration. I hadn't seen it listed in the most recent Concumer's Report California paint got top rating , but when I went to the CR website I found that the only reason it wasn't listed in their study is because they were tracking paint durability over 9 years, and Duration has only been on the market for 3.
Anyway, we're thinking of going with the Duration. Are two coats required to qualify for the "for as long as you live in your home" guarantee? Technically 2 coats of superpaint is thicker 2. I have semi gloss superpaint on my kitchen cabinets and its completely washable scrubbable etc.
I used one coat primer and two coats of paint. I used Duration matte in the entry and to me its not washable - I'm sure the satin or semi is though so its not a very fair comparison for me to make on washability. I have used duration exterior - used 1 coat as the primer and then another for the topcoat. Now, apply two coats of Duration which you'll need to change colors and add those numbers together.
