Does anyone have any experience with this paint? It seems to be their top of the line exterior paint. Is it worth the extra $$? I’ve never used it but have been very happy with other Weatherbeater products. I would appreciate any comments.
Thanks.

I suspect it's a recent formulation. Consumer Reports is half-way through a five year exterior paint test, and none of their paints, including Sears Weatherbeater is faring that well. Of course, their brand choices weren't comprehensive, either. Lighter colors fared better than darks, and satins better than flats. None did that well over a chalky surface. I think others have written here that exterior painting is 80% preparation. If the paint doesn't have a good foundation, its quality becomes moot.
*It is Sear's answer to Behr Premium Plus 100% Acrylic, and Valspar's American Tradition 100% Acrylic. Both of these paints have a lifetime warranty, and every time they reformulate and upgrade, so does Sear's Weatherbeater line. They seem to be matching them paint for paint.Again, proper prep work is the key. Many good paints on the market, and this is probably one of them.Just a thought...James DuHamel
