Behr Paint

[Bob(but not that Bob)]

You're thinking of CU's reliability surveys, which are based on consumer input.

Product tests are done in CU's "test lab" - whether their results are valid is another matter.

You have never read an issue of Consumer Reports, have you.

You clearly don't know anything at all about Consumer Reports. The surveys are to gather repair records and to help decide what to test in the future. The surveys do not ask readers to judge the quality of paint, vacuum cleaners or anything else except perhaps to ask whether you would buy the same car again.

Doesn't stop you from blathering on with your opinion though.

Uh huh, right.

The same is true of Moore. All you morons babbling on about Behr vs. Moore - there is no such thing as Benjamin Moore paint. There is Regal, Muresco, Colorscapes, Eco Spec, Moorcraft, etc., but no Benjamin Moore. Some is good, some is cheap. Same with Sherwin Williams or any other company. They make Style Perfect, which is cheap, and they make SuperPaint, which is not. Just check it out yourself - they even claim Style Perfect doesn't cover well.

So everyone knock it off.

As others have said, the painter seems to have quoted you one product and switched to another before painting. If he figured the quote using Benny Moore, he should either use the Moore paint or give you a rebate.

I've had all sorts of pros tell me what kind of paint I should want, they've told me what they would use on a job and they all get the same answer from me; we're using Benny Moore paint. Once that arguement is over, I've had every one of the pros tell me they prefer Benny Moore. Go figure.

I've tried a lot of products recommended by CR and have yet to be satisfied. I think their advice is actually pretty lousy, but maybe that's just me.
