I know SW Duration is supposed to be better (but I don't really buy the lifetime thing) but I was wondering if anyone thought 2 coats of SW superpaint is better than 1 coat of SW duration?

SWP super paint is good paint and generally 2 coats are better than 1. I would think that 2 coats of super paint would be better than 1 coat of duration but I don't really have any data to support it :p

I'm not as familiar with SWP as marksr, but I am familiar enough with paints and how they wear to say that two coats of a "slightly lesser" paint in any line-up will almost always outlast one coat of the next one up
