We always cite Consumer Reports first and then the arguments devolve
into personal preferences based on limited experience. Sometime there
is consensus about Benjamin Moore or other good local brands not
tested by CR. And then finally someone pops up with "Read the label,
Dummy" or similar when the failure appears to be poor prep work.
Whattheheck...it's all educational.

The best paint I know of for long life goes by the name of preparation.
Paint seems to last forever, it just has an annoying tendency to let go
of whatever it's put on after a bit.
