Re: Negative Thread
I'll agree that Benjamin Moore Aura is a stunning paint, Cloverdale Ecologic (not great to work with) and super acrylic 2 (though there have been some problems with colour change from cutting to rolling) are both up there price wise - but by far the best all round for coverage / cost / durability and ease of use is the Home Hardware premier brand. I think its around $30 a gallon.

Re: Negative Thread
You should always two coat anyway - if you have to repair any patches, one coat won't cover up the 'flashes' that you get. My advice would be if you've done repairs, spot prime them with a roller first, then top coat after.
I shall slap your hand and you know why

Must...resist...negativity. Ah, sod it:
1) Weird paranoia about alcohol
2) Chocolate that tastes like sick
3) Weather moaning and therefore...
4) The Weather network, or rather specifically that segment `stormwatch`on the Weather Network where they play really dramatic music to showcase terrifying Canada-wide storms, even when there aren`t any and all they have is the one shot of a solitary bin blowing across the road and some woman looking mildly inconvenienced by some drizzle. And it`s always in New Brunswick.
Guess what was just on in the background while I was typing.

I go to Bulk Barn for my fix of proper stuff. As for the Weather Network, I think you have it spot on....

Looks like we pay in £ what you pay in $. Paint looks cheap in Canada. You just have bigger houses, perhaps?
