RE: [GBlist] Sherwin Williams paint question

[Brenda Norman <bnorman@ceiarchitecture.com>]

The Benjamin Moore Eco-Spec works great with the lighter colours, but with 
darker colours (4's and 5's on their old colour selectors) it was 
impossible to maintain - all one had to do was touch it and a chalky mark 
appeared.  We eventually had to cover it with Cloverdale's low VOC paint 
(only available in Canada and Washington state) which was the highest 
performance major brand low VOC paint we could find for the darker colours. 
 To be fair to Benjamin Moore it is in their literature (if you looked hard 
enough) that their paint isn't recommended with the darker pigments.

I recently used Benjamin Moore Eco-Spec to paint two rooms and was very
pleased with the results (color selection,coverage,ease of application and
low odor). Will definitely use it again and spec it whenever applicable.
