I probably would have used it more but the supplier I generally use before online ordering became a thing didn't carry it and if he ordered it in for me it was expensive. It is odd how some decorators swear by it and others don't like it at all.
There's a forum called Painters Pit Stop where paint systems get a lot of thorough discussion based on real world use. Benjamin Moore and Tikkurila were quite popular on there last time I was looking.
Allcoat has been working for me because the drying times mean I can get a few coats on exterior work in one visit to the site. It's less important if you're painting at home or painting a whole exterior but when it's one window and a site visit is a round trip in London traffic it makes a big difference. Plus the durability is fine, at least it is in the white gloss. It always looks a bit thin until it fully cures.

I first used Superdec on the balusters and balustrade on our tiny patio, replacing the tired old stain that had gone on before. It was a pleasure to use and is still holding up well three years later. It’s porous and degrades gracefully instead of flaking off. I have used it a few times since, including in black for the neighbour’s front door. The black needed three coats but the white has excellent coverage. I used it at the end of last summer to afford a bit of winter protection to our front window frame where the previous paint had been falling off in sheets before they get repaired and repainted professionally this year.
