Just ran a search here & saw rave reviews on Sherwin Williams super paints and Porter Paints but the local supplier carries glidden. I can get the others but it's 40 miles away.....driving is still better than vinyl blowing off an installed sign! I'm still trying to get away from oil-based. I used the glidded once and added flotrol which helped level it but kept it tacky. I waited several days then applied the vinyl. That was 2 years ago and it is still fine and it was a very opaque paint. the flotrol could have been the catch, it may level but it slows the drying time. Thanks

The Mrs. painted our daughter's playhouse (masonite siding and pressure treated) with Glidden latex paints. Pink, purple, and spring green. That was over 13 years ago and it's still pink, purple, and spring green. I'm a Sherwin Williams user(I use the DTM) but, that seems pretty good to me. It might even be made by Sherwin Williams. Krylon is.
Use HIGH GLOSS or GLOSS acrylic latex for vinyl.

Alot of the time if it is a dark color I use their brand of industrial enamel (promar). It has given me good service when I had to use it. Personally I prefer sign paint and only use it(glidden) when it is not cost efective and or lettering or bulletin color is not available.I can remember at one time they made a brand of bulliten color.
