Accolade is water-base. There is also a Red Seal water base,
but what I'm talking about is Red Seal oil base. I've been trying
to find a paint that looks and wears as good as Red Seal oil.
Acrylic paints just can't achieve that kind of finish.
I haven't found an oil-base trim paint comparable to the
Red Seal. It's not budget priced paint. In any case, I don't
seem to be able to buy it anymore. If I could I wouldn't have
been doing all the research with "waterborne oil" paints. I did
call P&L and as I mentioned, they didn't even have an up-to-date
list of area dealers. As far as I can tell, the dealer I've been
going to, which is going out of business, is the last one in
my area.
