I just realized what a bargain paint is a Lowes.
 
I bought four gallons of paint and painted the eves and sashes of my house. Cost was a little over $100 and took about 2 days to paint.
 
Got my new tax assessment and learned that it increased the value of my home nearly $60,000.
 
Now I'm wondering whether to sell or go back and buy a few more gallons of paint.

I used to work for the company that provides the resin for the paints sold at Lowe's....  There is a reason they are a bargain but if your house looks good and you are happy that is all that counts....

@squirtismyboy:  The amount or resin and pigments in the paint was reduced by about 23% +/- 4 to 5 years.  This makes the paint not a resilient and prone to fading as well as not lasting as long as some of the others.   One of the worst starts with a 'V'...  I am surprised you got away with one coat unless you were using basically the same color....  Now you have a bit of my knowledge of the resin/paint manufacturing industry.

Sorry, I was actually trying to attract attention to my $60,000 increase in my base tax appraisal.
 
The house looks better, but not that much better. 4951

@Safety44: Sell it now, you'll have a windfall.

@tatertot58: Ooooo! Thanks for that knowledge! I'll remember that next time I have the need to buy paint.

The best is Behr, but it is pricey.  Sherwin Williams Super or Emerald is my choice for exterior.  One of the few with a guarantee they stand behind.  My house is being painted with the Super in a few weeks.  It is going to be a color change so we shall see if it is as good as the last time I used it. 4951

Behr Premium Plus Ultra is about $40 a gallon.  Premium plus is $30 and Marquee is like $49.   I used the premium plus inside.  It is also washable and does not fade so you can touch up and it blends in. 4951
