What sheens does Ben paint come in?
Their BEN line of paint is offered in three sheens - flat, eggshell (which really looks satin to me), and semi gloss. The eggshell in this line was far too shiny for my tastes.
What are the different sheens for paint?
I picked up a little flyer at an Ace hardware store, and it provided some basic concepts for paint "newbies." It contained, among other info on what you need to do a basic painting project, definitions of five levels of sheen: flat, matte, eggshell, satin, semigloss. Can't lay my hands on it now but will look for it. Of course, words are open to interpretation. But the definitions were pretty clear. But in any event, that is why a sheen chart should be prominently available for each line of paint sold, and I am surprised the high-end C2 does not provide this. You have to look at their color deck to find it in the back, but it is hard to see, and hard to find (it is generally behind the counter), and hard to use (difficult to hold and to see). Nothing provided for customers to take home with them. A la BM's sheen chart that provides designations and chips for their interior and exterior lines.

I don't believe the Sherwin Williams samples lack binding agent, but I don't doubt at all that a clerk made this claim.

I've spent a lot of money at Sherwin Williams, so I don't mind saying that I've done some small but complete interior jobs (Bathroom Vanities) with SW samples and they turned out perfectly. It's most likely their most inexpensive latex paint or whatever latex is at end of shelf life.

Does Sherwin Williams color to go jug have performance properties?
