Paint Store
Many of our clients ask; what’s the best exterior paint? An exterior paint that offers longevity and protection in the harsh Florida climate. An exterior paint that’s looks great and lasts! In addition, almost all who are looking to purchase exterior paint are looking for a quality product that will fit within their budget.

As professional painters, our recommendation for exterior paint usually points to Sherwin Williams. They consistently offer the best performance, price and overall value. According to JD Powers, Sherwin-Williams ranks highest in customer satisfaction among exterior paint brands. Performing very well in application; design guides; durability; and warranty/guarantee.


Exterior Paint
Duration® Exterior Acrylic Coating is one of Sherwin-William's top-of-the-line exterior paint offerings. While it is not cheap (you don’t want cheap) industry professionals and skilled tradesman all attest, that it's well worth its cost. Just as most things in life; you get what you pay for. Exterior paint and the protection it offers, are definitely not an area where you want to skimp or cut corners....
Duration® resists cracking, peeling, has great color retention and applies well. In many instances (2) two coats is sufficient for a professional grade finish. In addition, it has the great ability to self-prime surfaces. This attribute alone offsets cost and enhances value. Duration® Exterior Paint has excellent durability and hide, it’s formulated with PermaLast® technology allowing for long-lasting performance. Duration® is mildew-resistant and is backed by a lifetime warranty for as long as you own your home.

Duration® goes on a lot thicker than most exterior paints, almost like a glue! While this is a quality painting professionals look for in an exterior paint finish; for the novice, it may take some getting used to applying it. But once you find the rhythm, you will be astonished at the final product. Duration comes in available in flat, satin and semi-gloss sheens.

Pro Color Painting rates Duration® an 9 out of possible 10 for overall performance.
Quality
This high quality exterior paint from Sherwin Williams delivers on quality!

Durability
This product is extremely durable; when used on walkway treads (high foot traffic) performance was decent.

Coverage
Coverage was great! As professionals, we always apply (2) two coats. Many use just one coat application with good results.

Ease of Application
Easy to apply for a professional painter, it does as good exterior paint should!  It may take a weekend warrior some practice to find the rhythm. ​​

Clean-ability
​
Here is where Duration® is not a 10. Although it has extraordinary qualities you look for in a high-grade exterior paint; it doesn't clean as well as a few others currently on the market.
