In my viewpoint the "finest" is ML Campbell Magnamax militarized lacquer. It sprays great and appears to be actually tough once it is cured. The drawbacks are it just has a service life of 120 days as soon as the stimulant is added, there appears to be as scarcity of dealers( or at least around right here), and it seems to take a little bit longer to treat than some other lacquers. Certainly various other "drawbacks" would certainly be that it needs to be sprayed, it can't be applied on site, and also you require a paint space with an exhaust follower. ML Campbell has various other products besides the Magnamax however I'm not sure if they are available in pigmented finishes or simply removes. There's a "glitch" with blending certain darker shades (relates to the SW lacquers as well), the job around is to tint a clear lacquer however this can present various other issues.
My 2nd option currently would be Sherwin Williams CAB Acrylic lacquer. It's more extensively offered and also extra available for a person without a service license (a minimum of right here, the only resource for ML Campbell that I know is a wholesale lumber lawn that doesn't like to offer to the general public). It's likewise concerning half the cost of the ML Campbell and appears to completely dry a little faster as well as does not have the brief life span of a militarized finish. The disadvantages are it still needs to be sprayed in a paint room with an exhaust follower, it isn't as resilient as a militarized coating neither does it spray too, as well as it is only available in 5 gallon buckets (this can be a concern for custom-made colors where you just require a gallon, or where you may require to duplicate the shade later). Sherwin Willaims possesses ML Campbell but it is a various line of coatings, S-W has actually a catalyzed clear lacquer, but AFAIK not a pigmented one.
Before I changed to ML Campbell I was spraying Pittsburgh oil based coatings however, for one of the most part they have terminated those. If it had not been for that I would probably still be splashing oil based paints. They could be combed on site or sprayed in the store and also were easier to touch up than lacquers. The drying time was a lot slower than lacquers yet including a little Japan dryer assisted.
Benjamin Moore still has the indoor oil based Impervo enamel readily available (satin finish just) however I'm not totally sure if the darker blending bases still exist or just the white and also pastel base. I think it is just an issue of time before they drop the oil base paints completely. I've sprayed several of this lately, still an excellent paint.
As for I recognize Sherwin Willaims still has an oil based paint and also it can be mixed in darker colors. I have actually sprayed this set as well as it sprays alright as well as looks great, but in my opinion it is also soft to use on closets. The only task I have actually used it on was a darker shade and I was trying to stay clear of needing to tint a clear lacquer, next time I'll take my chances with the lacquer, not worth the migraine.
There may be other brands that still have a respectable oil based paint yet I'm not sure that. Personally I will not use any type of water based paints, which includes both latex and the newer waterborne alkyds. They often tend to be also soft, they don't spray in addition to an oil, they do not sand as well, they take longer to cure, and they can't be used if the temperature level is around cold.
