Has anyone had any experience using "duration" paint by Sherwin Williams? Just looking for thoughts on the product (good or bad).

Thanks!

Great paint, can even be used on aluminum and vinyl siding.

I have had it up for 7 years in Phoenix. Even the west walls have held up well. I had badly alligatored paint before - sanded and primed and covered with Duration and it still looks good today.

Its expensive, but if you don't like painting, a good choice.

Thanks for the in-put, I think it will be worth the extra $$$ in the long run. Painting is NOT one my favorite things to do. LOL

Thanks again,

Wow, I was just about to post this same question and ran across this old post using Search. I need to have my fascia at the ends of my house done. Not an easy place to get to, and pretty much all the paint is worn off, making my house look horrible there. So I only want to do this one time. It will be worth the money. Thanks.

Yes, good paint. Don't skimp on the cost of paint -- not worth all the extra work.

If you truly do not want to do this again rocksister then have the wood wrapped in coil stock not paint. Any siding company can do this for you.

What is coil stock? Haven't heard of that type of treatment.

Coil stock is a roll of colored aluminum, that is bent with a tool called a break (brake) not sure which spelling is right for this. Your trim would be wrapped in this bent aluminum and nailed in place. It would be then caulked were appropriate. This would be a treatment that would then be maintainence free.
