Nick says that you really must use some type of clear coat over the Stoneflake. Nick Ugolini used gray primer as a base coat, sprayed on the Stoneflake, then covered it with clear polyurethane coat. John didn’t say anything about needing a clear coat, but I do know that Steve Beert used a clear coat. Cleanup is with soap and water immediately after spraying. Do not stir or shake the product, instead pour it several times from container to container. Recommended application is with HVLP or conventional spray equipment, do not use high pressure airless equipment. If you are looking for an interior finish he says it would be worth you time to visit your local Sherwin-Williams outlet, they should have the color samples. The local store person suggested a top coat of water borne satin varnish. John Epplin used Sherwin-Williams Multispec paint in Stonewall gray color. Question: If we use a good oil based primer (like Kilz original oil-base exterior), is it okay if this oil-based primer covers both the bare wood AND the 20% areas where scraping the existing latex did not come off? Also, given the age of the house, we intend to top coat with Super Paint (versus Duration) since the house/wood is near 100 years old and seems like the need to “breathe” would trump the few extra years of durability.From emails that I've saved over the years, the two more popular choices to Zolatone are Stoneflake and Multispec. We will be repainting, scraping as much as possible to bare wood, but I expect there will be about 20% where the existing latex will be bonded well and not scrape off. The most recent painting used a latex primer and latex top coat and didn’t hold up that well, especially in hot south sun. The house has had several repaintings over the years, typically scraped, then oil primer and latex top coat. I have a 100+ year old farmhouse that has good wood siding that has held up over the years, though with a couple eaves just re-sided with cedar after a moisture problem – not primed or painted yet.

And as always, if you’re curious about our services, give us a call or schedule an estimate on our website! Unlike Superpaint, if Duration is applied on a home with cedar, or with a moisture problem, the thicker Duration coating will stop the home from ‘breathing’ and prevent moisture from escaping – therefore cause blistering and peeling paint. It’s best if used on a newer home, under 30-40 years old.
It typically lasts for about 8-10 years as well, depending on the same factors as above.ĭuration is great if you are looking for a self priming, one coat coverage type of paint. For starters, Duration can be applied on a handful more surfaces than SuperPaint – such as steel, aluminum, vinyl and wood siding and trim. Though it has the same technology that allows us to use it during cooler temperatures, Duration tends to be slightly more expensive than Superpaint – which can easily be explained. SuperPaint also has improved resistance to early dirt pick-up, it’s vinyl safe, and it has block resistance – which means those window frames and door jams shouldn’t get stuck because of it. This is also why it’s better on an older home, as that home more than likely already has layers and layers of paint on it, and you want it to be able to ‘breathe’ better. On some substrates, such as cedar, SuperPaint is a better option because it allows the wood to ‘breathe’ and doesn’t trap moisture under the paint as much. If there are peeling areas or bare wood, a separate primer will be required prior to applying SuperPaint. SuperPaint is great on an older home, something more than 40 years old. Of course the amount of time that any paint will last depends on a lot of factors – two of the most important being weather conditions and pre-existing conditions. It has technology to allow us to paint in cooler temperatures and will typically last about 5-7 years. It is priced about mid-range and performs accordingly. SuperPaint is Sherwin Williams ‘standard’ exterior paint. Below, we’ll go over the differences and when you might want to use one over the other. For most exterior projects though, there’s 2 products we would recommend over others – Superpaint or Duration.
If you’re thinking about doing an exterior painting project soon, Sherwin Williams offers a handful of products in their exterior paint line.
