bring your paint from the US I have brought down over 100 gallons of paint and even with a red light they never took it or even said anything. It is well worth getting the US paint

Jeeps, be sure to prep the surface well. Is your deck wood? A lot of the problems people have with painted surfaces, wood, concrete, stucco etc. result from poor and inadequate surface prep. Most people blame the paint but more often than not the prep is the problem. Sometimes old paint needs to be removed. The surface needs to be clean and dust free. You should put as much time or more in surface prep than in painting. I bet there is a site on the net detailing what needs to be done to prep different surfaces before painting.

That proposed merger never materialized, in fact Comex has a current lawsuit against S-W for breach of agreement. Bring down Dunn Edwards, I did in a few trips with enough paint for my entire beach house and so far it is holding up very well after 2 years.

Used some Valspar Reserve satin from Lowe's 2 weeks ago. Really good results. Covered easily in 1 coat.
Was that exterior, Landshark?

If I were painting exterior surfaces I would use Dunn Edwards Evershield. http://www.dunnedwards.com/Homeowners/PaintPaintingSupplies/ExteriorPaintProducts/ExteriorFinishes.aspx Roberto's advice about prep is right on. As important as the paint itself. Power washing, allowing the wood to dry completely, scraping, sanding, caulking, priming, the BS part of it. Painting is the easy part! If interested, I have an account at DE you could use.
