Looking for a tough trim paint
Im looking for a tough trim paint for my home. Something that is Dog nail resistant, ha. Believe or not , I have lever locks on my doors at home and the boy jumps up and opens the door. Hes at the point now where he can pull it open or push in. His nails are so hard that it is starting to peel the paints on my doors and walls.
Any suggestion on something durable that will hold up? I currently have oil trim on my trims and doors?

There are several companies that make products for dealing with this very issue, it isn't uncommon. You should be able to get the necessary products locally. One manufacturer which makes a few products for this is Smith and Wesson.

I don't think a paint finish will hold up to dog nails, but the toughest I have ever come across was Dura Clad for interior.

If you mean Duron DuraClad I'd forget that. For about a year before SW took Duron from us, we had no end of complaints on DuraClad. The reformulations had made it so soft it wasn't worth using anymore. Unless they've somehow fixed that now, I wouldn't recommend it.

No coating to my knowledge will hold up. The dog's nails are harder than the wood underneath and finishes are flexible. If he is getting through oil trim paint (which gets harder than the acrylics), I do not think you will have much luck.

I use porcelain enamel 1000 from midwest chemicals on bathtubs. Very hard. I've sprayed some cabinets with it as well. Not sure anything is going to keep from scratching the doors though.

Anyone ever try tremclad or rustoleum in these types of applications? I have to believe it would provide a fairly tough finish.
I used it on an old garage door and its wood trim once and it looked wetter the next day after it dried than it did when I applied it.

Tremclad is recommended for outdoor light fixtures, patio furniture, door hardware, wheelbarrows, railings and mailboxes, doors and window trim, wrought iron, bicycles & wagons..

Keep the paint in the can.
Smack the dog on its ass with the can whenever he scratches the door trim.
Wait and hour or two and repeat process if necessary

I don't know of any paint that can stand up to the nails. I used to work in a body shop and saw a few trucks and cars with dog nail marks through the clear coat and finish. Good luck.
