Need Help Choosing Solid Color Stain

shed-n-deck

Yesterday for the first time, I bought Behr premium 10/25 year deck stain. I was pretty disappointed at how thin the product was, it was messy to say the least. Normally, I use Olympic solid color and semi-transparent for deck surfaces. But I am extrememly disappointed at how quick that treatment wears off.

I need to find a product that is going to perform the way that it says, doesn't require 4 coats to cover, can be used (solid colors) on vertical and horizontal surfaces(wood decks and primed siding), and carries a great warranty. Can you offer any suggestions?

Olympic crap yup
Behr uber-crap yup
Sounds about right so far

#1) Stop buying your paint in a paint department....buy it at a real Paint Store (or the paint dept at quality contractor's supply/lumberyards where actual painters buy paint)
#2) Pretty much anything you get there will kick Olym/Behrs butt
#3) Paint Store = Quality coatings
#4) Home Depot = crap to clueless DIYers
#5) Yup

Actual names to look for:
Sikkens
Cabot
Ben Moore
Sherwin Williams
