Troy, I believe every word you say about cheap hardware store paint vs
professional-grade paint. From my own experience in other fields of
endeavor I know that retail-quality items are usually nearly junk.
However -- what the heck could be in a gallon of paint to make it cost
$300? I'm not saying it isn't worth it, I'm saying that I know next to
nothing about paints and can't figure out what rare and expensive
compounds are in there to make it cost so much.
