One thing that has to be taken into account is what surface you are painting. Siding or trim or both? Is the current siding vinyl or wood? The other question would be what color are you covering? These will help determine whether you need oil based or can get by with a latex solution. Latex holds up better to extreme weather. Flat house paint is best for siding, whereas glossy is best for trim, and the type of paint for trim will depend whether it is wood or metal. Rule of thumb with paint "you get what you pay for..." applies here. If you want this color to last for 20 years do not go with the cheapest base you can buy. :)

Which Sherwin Williams paint is Sears Best?

Sears has not sold there own brand of paint for several years so any formula that would have been used to create that paint will no longer be available due to EPA and VOC regulations. If you want a quality paint, no matter who the manufacturer is, select a high end, 100% acrylic paint line in the sheen that you prefer. If you want an exact color, take a sample of that color to a store with an experienced color matcher and you should have no difficulty at all finding a long-lasting paint in the color and sheen that you like.


What happens if your spray your penis with spray paint?

Most likely it would cause no permanent damage, but it is very likely that it would act as a local irritant and may be painful depending on the solvents used in the particular brand of paint. And since paint is difficult to remove, it may be difficult to get the irritant off of you. It is possible that the paint would cause problems when it interacts with the mucus membranes of your urethra. It would definitely not be good, but it would be hard to determine exactly how bad that would be before hand.
