Brand Bashing

Well, not really but I got your attention, didn't I :o). Not paint products themselves but paint product troubleshooting information. In checking out the painting problems information available from Martin Senour (S&W), PPG and DuPont, I think that Martin Senour has an excellent, detailed troubleshooting manual (64 pg .pdf - takes a bit to load), PPG has a very good one, although a little more difficult to use and DuPont's is also good. I am not able to link directly to the DuPont manual. Just log in to their site as "visitor" and follow this link path: products/technical manuals/paint defects manual. Anyone who is having specific problems with any brand of paint should carefully review the generic information provided in such manuals for a possible cause before arbitrarily laying blame to the manufacturer. Perhaps even your particular manufacturer also provides similar on-line information. If they are a major player in the market, they probably do.
