Having read so many testimonials to the quality of Benjamin Moore paint,
I checked out their Web site to see who carries it around here. First
was an ACE Hardware store, but there is no sign of BM paints on the ACE
Web site. Went to the store to ask and found out that they do have BM,
but only gallons, no 5-gallon pails.

Off to another store, a "real paint store" that sells Graco spray
equipment (the commercial stuff, not the homeowner stuff that HD sells)
and not a sign of Wagner. Picked up the brochure about BM exterior
paints, complete with store's sticker on the back. Flagged down an
employee and asked the price of the top-quality BM exterior paint.
"Sorry, we don't sell their exterior paints."

Sounds like you need a better store.

As for the quality of BM paints, we've use a couple of hundred gallons in
the past few months at work (much in 5 gallon pails) and it has done a god
job of covering, no splatter problems, etc. There are other paints that can
equal it, but I'd not hesitate to use Ben Moore again.
