I'm a landlord, own several houses I currently rent. Based on my
experience with Behr brand exterior house paint purchased from Home
Depot, I'll never buy that Behr brand guano or any paint from Home
Depot again!!

Guess results and opinions are like the proverbial appendages --
everybody has their own...

Used the Behr exterior on the barn here and it worked (spray application)
extremely well, covered well and has/is holding up well. I have been
quite satisfied.

Don't recall the name of the particular product, but it was the premium
line and not that much less than any other of similar quality -- about
$80/5-gal bucket iirc, including a volume discount of 10% or so, five/six
years ago, I forget which w/o looking it up. Retail was probably pushing
$20/gal then. I suspect if buy a $10/gal paint instead of $20, one will
find it doesn't stand up to the higher priced...

Can't go by just the cost of the paint. The most expensive paint on a rental
(due to abuse) may only last 3 years while a cheaper brand will last just as
long. No need for a 20 year paint if you know you needed to repaint every 5
years. Consumer Report did a comparison and surprised (maybe not) to see one
of the most expensive paints rated on the bottom.
