Thanks for replying on this one west end. I always appreciate the opinion of a trades person. I just don't deal with some things enough, so it helps to hear from those with experience.

About paint: one of the ironies about painting is that prep is 80% of the work and there's usual an amount to deal with, either cleaning the surface, deglossing, masking, or priming (sometimes all of the above). After all of the work involved, a lot of folks choose to buy the cheapest paint they can find. This sometimes recuires two coats of paint or the finish coat does not have any endurance. In any event, choosing paint by price is a losing proposition. Aim for the best you can get.
