In my post "Paint or Replace" Jennifer Temple suggested using PPG Revolution. Aside from what she wrote I haven't seen much about this paint on the internet. Does anyone else here have any comments on this paint?

I think your referring to Sico Evolution. I used it a few years back on some interior walls and was quite impressed. Wouldn't be my first choice for a bathroom stall though..

Hi, I hadn't heard of Revolution before so I looked into this real quick. It seems that Revolution is part of the Pittsburgh Paints & Stains brand that is exclusive to Menards in the USA. It seems like it might be a relabel of the PPG UltraLast (which is what we carry) available in PPG dealers and Home Depot.

The sheens do run a bit high, but it is extremely stain and burnish resistant, even in the matte or eggshell.

Never seen Sico out this way - or even heard of it until now.

I can't find a direct match to the Sico Evolution in PPG's US products. Based on the website, I would guess Manor Hall, but none of the data sheets match up. Maybe it's a formulation they have not brought down south yet.

It's a PPG brand exclusive to Canada.

I am wondering how it compares to BM Scuff-X and Behr Scuf-Defense.

I know they tested Scuff-X for it's stain resistance when they were developing UltraLast (it didn't do well), but I have not seen any direct comparison for burnish and mar resistance between the two.

It seems to exist as a US product. How good it is, who knows.

With the bathroom stall idea though, I can't really think of anything that would be stronger than a Rustoleum enamel in that scenario. Maybe the BM P22 perhaps.

I left PPG in October, never heard of the product. As suggested it is manufactured for the Canadian market. Manor Hall I believe is discontinued. I was @ PPG for almost 4 years and most of my time was addressing touchup problems. Stick with the best Sherwin Williams and/or an independent, knowledgeable independent dealer. Just remember, the end user will always need touch up and its beyond their abilities.

Manor Hall I believe is discontinued.

It's not. Manor Hall is being made available only to independent dealers. It is being removed from Home Depot and corporate stores. Its replacement, for corporate stores and HD, is Prominence, which we are not allowed to order. They're probably cross-fills, but only someone at PPG knows that for sure. They also even brought back Manor Hall exterior as a dealer-only exclusive.

SICO Evolution is a good paint for apts-new builds and such . I would not call it high end although they have it priced like that here in Canada at around 60 + 3.78Litres . Two years ago one could buy it on the BOGO deals for around 28 CaFunds a can . I guess COVID drove it up . We used to buy and use a lot...but the damn stuff ruins our brushes......they are almost impossible to clean . I'm not sure what is in it.....but it does not clean well at all off the brushes . It can be hard to apply on the cuts and we just add some water to fix that . Covers good and rolls good but also drys fast . The Evolution CW is a great ceiling paint and IMO better than Pro Mar 400 . We shifted to Dulux Lifemaster Eggshell for our walls these days . It gets expensive throwing away brushes ..Lifemaster is a dream to use versus Evolution . Who knows......maybe they change the formula of Evolution . These companies do so much unscrupulous stuff it is hard to stay ahead of them . Anyways....that is my 2 cents Canadian on it .
