As for paint brands, don't buy paint from big box stores, they
generally carry "consumer" grade paints that are 80% marketing and 20%
paint.

That might be an accurate statement and it might not. Like
it or not, Home Depot's Behr paint and Gliddon are
top-rated paints.

I don't like Behr because it does not
flow out the way that I want it to. It's still a great paint.

Most important is the preparation of the surface rather than
the great lines of paint.
