There you go, sprayed and brushed.
Try rolling the garbage.

In this thread I have learned paint is no different from sharpening stones....
I have on commercial jobs. The reason I went with SW to start with was advise from commercial painters. The only recommendation made was never trust a self priming paint...
Fire stations, police stations and hospitals dont want cheap...They have specific requirements...

What's really odd is the only one that isn't is the one you dismiss because of standards.

Promar is a professional paint, the others are homeowner paint, just reading the descriptions makes that pretty obvious.
I never use any paint as self-priming. We've taken all the old paint off of many things, and I've never seen a failed oil based primer under anything that has any life left in it anyway.
Well...the pro painters who did our home addition specifically recommended the BM Aura for the walls, the Duration for the exterior trim and the SM SuperPaint for the ceilings. And these two guys were extremely good at their trade. And expensive, too. They primarily do high-end homes and additions. 4200 sq feet of really nice paint job. But this is a pretty subjective thing.

The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...
That's for homeowners who want easy. When you want a surface done correctly you'll prep it right knowing the paint will adhere. You remind me of the finisher at Jacobe Furniture in KC. He hated SW products. He always referred to one particular job he did were SW products failed. I heard about the same job for 5 years. I use there paints, poly's and pre cats. You won't change my mind. Sorry you were disappointed.I've had an account with them since 2000. Never had a reason to look elsewhere..

The "Professional" designation on product advertising and labeling is very important to me. That is why I am so partial to Harbor Freight tools.
Here's a big painting crew, that works full time. Ask them what they use, including primer.
