We have been talking about the Behr paint for a few years now.

I guess I need to move this to the paint forum

Painted the Pinzgauer and M101A2 with Valspar Signature paint in a Panzer Gray/Green and used a brush. If you take your time and use a very good brush the results can be amazing and touch ups are a breeze.

Personally, I would avoid the Gillespie RAPCO paint. It's way too glossy and fades quickly. My paint preference is BEHR exterior Flat mixed in the appropriate Federal Standard Color Codes;-).

Our stuff sits on a flightline...rarely goes into the brush...so the abrasion resist is not as hot with the Behr ultra...BUT...if your draggin a trailer? this stuff will last you three or four years.....without fading..just like your house..lol...
I was back "home" to see my mom a few months ago. Dropped by my old house. I painted it about 20 years ago. It's still the same paint. It still looks just fine. Flat walls, semi-gloss trim. Looks basically like when we lived there. I am 100% sure it has not been repainted, and I'm 90% sure it's never been maintained in any way.

House paint just isn't what it used to be in the old days. It's way better.
