[quote=Anonymous]I love ben moore.  I also hear farrow and ball is good, but i've never tried it.

there are 2 reasons i think ben moore is better than the other paints I have tried.  It's easier to paint with... it seems to go on thicker and has better coverage.  I'm not sure i can fully explain, but it is just easier to paint with.

and second it seems to hold up so much better.  I once left the ben moore paint store feeling duped after I paid a fortune for paint.  The guy talked me into getting the super duper scrubbable paint ( is scrubbable a word?!).  I had kids and he said trust me and get the top quality paint.  The paint went on great.  My kids colored on it, crashed into it, got food all over it and it was always easy to wash it off.  We later moved to another home with cheap paint ( they left the cans in garage) and my kids started leaving their marks on the wall.  I couldn't easily wipe down the walls like i had done in my previous house.  And the paint would come off whenever I tried so there would be a coloring mark ( washable marker) and then a bigger mark of where the paint had come off.  And it looks horrible and we will repaint with better paint.  I never had this problem when i used the Ben Moore paint.

If painting furniture I recommend Anne Sloan chalk paint. [/quote]
