HP2000 is a great paint....ecologic is also fantastic...

 

Cloverdale paint sales rep contacted me recently to set up an account. He mentioned the ecologic.

What are your experiences with it in comparison to HP2000?

coverage?
cured feeling? (HP2000 is nice and hard)
how is it to work with?
spray?

 

Same answers apply to this thread PPG's Manor Hall and ICI's Dulux

 

MooreGuard. What is HP2000?

 

HP2000 ( HP stands for High Performance ) from General Paint up here in Canada

Only problem, is that last summer I noticed it was tacking up WAY too quickly on me while working on some complicated windows. Cutting it back or using a conditioner helped a bit, but the problem was never fully resolved.

I was a little disappointed, but that was the only time I had this issue. Works great inside too. ( it's an interior/exterior product, I was surprised at first )

 

One paint that I really love for exterior doors however is BM Metal and Wood.

My old supplier called it Impervo ( but not the satin which is interior only, this is a gloss finish ) It's oil base and almost bulletproof when applied properly. Super smooth almost mirror like finish with a good brush and a foam roller.

 

Oh. Never heard of General Paint. I use the moorgaurd or sw A-100. Tacking up too fast sucks.

 

Yes, it is Impervo. Used it a quite a bit actually. Did all the outside time and pergola on a house last summer. Lap siding was Iron Clad metal and wood satin. Nice looking house. All white with black shutters and black door.

 

Only reason I wasn't too sure, is because I had mentioned the name "Impervo" on this forum last summer and everyone thought I was nuts using an interior paint on a front door or something

I'm actually using it on a job coming up in a few weeks here. A bunch of black trim and doors, I'm glad they have a pre-mix black, maybe we'll get a full season out of it that way

Actually I did a roof ( yes a roof ) about 3 seasons ago with the collection exterior low lustre pre-mix and the color held up MUCH better than expected.

I've never heard of Impervo for exteriors???

I also trust Iron Clad a little more than Impervo for exterior use.

 

I walked into BM the other day and noticed that sitting on the shelf, new here. Might have to check it out.

 

Moore Guard/Glow. But have been moving to Aura exterior more and more. Just make sure to use the extender in the heat of the summer!

 

Used to be HP2000, and though I think it is a great interior trim paint I don't like it for exterior work. It gums up too fast and doesn't spread well at all in weather above 20C. It's too shiny in semi, doesn't level well as i'd like and also seems to degrade prematurely - usually after about 4-5 years it is failing. It'll last forever on interiors.

I'm liking the Aura exterior though. Spreads awesome and has great hide. Sure it's costly, but well worth it considering there are far fewer hassles. I'd like to find a good alternative to HP from General Paint for those jobs where I need custom colour matches or something a bit less expensive.

 

At least its not just me

 

Super Paint, Duration, or Aura

 

Superpaint, California 2010, Resiliance.

 

I was just talking to another PC about how I like Resilience. Surprising how few people use it. Stock white coverage was very nice, easy to apply too. :thumbsup:

 

Duration Satin almost exclusively for me. For front doors though, I've been using Aura low luster because the Duration doesn't come in quarts. For me, the Aura ext doesn't hide as well as the interior paint does, but damn it looks great in that low luster.

 

Been using alot of aura last year...

Cali's 2010. Love it.

 

Behr: Premium plus ultra,

I love the pliability , and the strength, I just looked at the trim of a house I did in the summer of 2009, Black trim, on South facing windows, and water sits on the sill; it still looks money and the surface isn't compromised

 

And there it is.

 

It depends on the situation. Use alot of Duration, but for things like windows and doors I'll use SuperPaint as the Duration is a bit to thick imo.

 

Been using a lot of the new Regal Select, great coverage, great hide, and it dries fast. Just ordered 60 gallons a few minutes ago.
