Use Trinity paint only if you feel like painting it again next year

Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams .. very pricey but give a "mat" finish when painted .. Penta on the more cheaper side works very well though !

Based on your intention and based on the choice of paint you queried about you are looking at a cost effective solution. you, i am sure, would've done the pricing and realized that Trinity is the cheaper of the paints on the market. (Kaleidoscope is another cheap brand)

My advise to you, based on personal experience is, Trinity primer is the best primer - and for a good painting finish you need to have a good priming coat on - and that Sissons is a quality, durable, stylish and cost effective paint to use.

Of course, if budget permits, then you can go for the #1 which is Berger.

All the other brands -eg Behr, Sherwin Williams, Giddens etc were not blended for our type of salty, humid, tropical climate. Remember these brands are a direct N.American import and are not (currently) formulated here for our climate.

good luck

no disrespect intended but hold that thought ,

As professional painting contractors , when behr was imported into this country , this original behr latex was undoubtedly the thickest and richest consistency and pigmentation we have ever used ( 2005 or there abouts). What is sold as expressions "previously behr" is not even marginally close to what we got then. If I am not mistaken it came in a metal 2 gallon pan. The expressions which is marketed leaves a lot to be desired in terms of coverage and application.

I would rate the original behr as the best we have used in more that 10 yrs of painting. , over the last few years a lot of people have gravitated towards Benjamin moore , while this can be an ok paint they need to watch their color consistency with batches.

For us we like using Sherwin Williams currently, pretty strong and good coverage (interior and exterior ).

For local paints Berger heads the list and sissons second.

. I see a point in here about being blended for our market , ask what coastal tropical houses use ? or high rainfall areas , most of these paints are sold world wide including the tropics so unless some specific environmental conditions exist in Trinidad and no where else, i don't see what difference paint for Miami and Cayman houses would be for ours

Final point Trinity is a good primer and it stops right there

My advise to you, based on personal experience is, Trinity primer is the best primer -

I used to think so until I came upon a Primer that is sold by T&Z - The Primer works so well that when I painted my Ballusters 2yrs ago, I didnt even paint it over with white paint and it hasnt faded yet ... It is also quite cheaper than Trinity Primer !!!
