Are you thinking of "Ranch Paint"?

It was a nice and long lasting one but not 10 years.

It has worked well for me but it has become more difficult to get hold
of and had been replaced in the sheds by International 10 year Exterior
Gloss which is also microporous. The finish is far more glossy than the
Ranch paint (also by International) which had a bit more of a soft sheen
which I liked.

I would use it again for outdoor woodwork.
