I have learned 2 things:
1) Always opt for the more expensive level of paint. The cheaper paints cost
you more in the long and the short as it will take up to 4 coats of the cheap
paint as opposed to one coat of the more expensive paint. As far as
durability, the more expensive paint will last much longer (less times you
need to touch up or repaint). Also, the cheaper paints seem to just scratch
off.
2) Always go for an exterior enamel, even for interior. It's much more
durable and it will actually dry!
In summary, you may sneer at paying $40 / gal for the good stuff, but you will
spend much less time painting and much more time enjoying the finish product!
