I think that just about any of the “name” brands will do a decent job. Prep work is really where it is at. Interior and exterior I mostly use a oil base primer and top coat with latex. Seems to solve most of the problems. Certain colors will always fade no matter what brand.

I would like feedback of good quality paint with a reasonable price. Some manufactures are getting really proud of their product, if you know what I mean$$$$. My next paint project is fiber cement with rock interiors.
Thanks in advance
*This pretty well qualifies as FAQ (frequently asked question). Was discussed not long ago, and, as I recall, there were no definitive answers. If you don't get any good responses, go digging in the FHB archivesm (the SEARCH function at the top of this page) or try the discussion group at: http://www.horizonweb.com/wwwboard/Coatings/wwwboard.html or the discussion board at Paint Coatings Net: http://www.paintcoatings.net/
