I would find out what the warranty is all about on "duration" first. But I must admit anything with the word "super" is hard to resist.
I agree. There are spaces in there, and capitals, and a period; the technology's obviously capable of it - it's just that the OP was just too lazy to bother with it. To be honest, that makes me far too lazy to help them out.
Ha ha! I was replying to you as I was reading your post, so I typed exactly that before seeing that you'd got there first :-) (I even used 'lazy-ass', too)
cheers

Glad you are not going with an off brand for it. I used it one time on my house and it was peeling by the next year.

Of course, that couldn't possibly be due to poor prep, now could it?
I wonder what "it" is.
Prep? You mean you can't just spray the bulk dirt off with a garden hose and then paint right over the remaining dirt, mildew and moss?

Hi. I'm going to paint my gun, which I use as a wood splitter for the duration until spring. Any advice? Thanks.
It took me all but 2 seconds to Google Sherwinn Williams. The site had the two paints the OP was inquiring about. I was easy to find. As far as I can tell his email was clear. Badly written but clear.

Of course you can. "Painters" do it all the time.
In the ole days, there was "spick-and-span", used for washing for paint prep.
I figured I would never get all the desert dust out of my rough textured stucco.
Power washed and painted..
So important, lots and lots of time-consuming preparation. Repair any areas. Then Benjamin Moore Fast-dry Primer, then Benjamin Moore finish coat. A second coat of of finish coat, maybe. If your location has mold/mildew issues add additional mildewcide. I prefer Sherwin Williams or Behr for interior painting.
"Good" painters don't. Good painters prepair the surface well, removing or killing all mildew and removing as much dirt as possible.
TSP is generally used as a basis for most paint prep.
I've used Sherwin Williams on my Benz, after a good coating of TSP.
It looks terrific.

Huh?! Sounds as dumb as posting your phone number on usenet. But then again, could be a setup with an ex's new S.O.

I'm man enough to admit it.
Nope - I scraped and primered it before painting.
brand for it. I used it one time
next year.
It was a store brand, Coast to Coast if I remember correctly.

But was that really good prep? No mold, mildew, stain or other stuff needing removed? What about caulking, filling, other surface prep?
Maybe you actually did a decent prep job, but "scraped and prime[re]d it" doesn't usually cut it.

Wasn't that the house label of Standard Brands? They've been out of business for, what, 30 years or so?
