Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint vs. Olympic Premium Paint
What You Pay is What You Get
My goal was to paint an interior read-to-finish molded door semi-gloss white. I began with the Sherwin-Williams interior semi-gloss latex SuperPaint, for which I paid about $31 for the gallon. The Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint conveniently comes in a plastic container with a screw-on lid for easy and clean prep, clean-up, and storage. Another amenity is the built-in handle on the side of can that allows for shaking rather than stirring, which normally leaves a messy stick to deal with. I painted the front side of the door with the Sherwin-Williams paint. After my first coat with the Sherwin-Williams Superpaint dried, I felt that the paint still appeared somewhat streaky and a second coat needed to be added. After the second coat, the finish seemed flawless and smooth. The SuperPaint's semi-gloss sheen left an even, soft shine. In each coat, the paint went on smooth and relatively thick. It was not difficult to apply the SuperPaint evenly with a paintbrush. I felt two coats was a reasonable amount of work for the job of painting a molded door.
