I miss the older paint that was oil based. Even today's oil based paints aren't as good as the old stuff. They should go back to those original recipes!
We live in a 200+ year old house and I can walk around and show you where latex or oil was applied. Latex is good at "stretching" and "moving" with the wood but it seems to be more of a surface application. Nowadays, the house...at the very least....gets an oil based primer wherever I'm working on it, even if it gets a latex top coat. For hives, I'll use latex to go over existing paint. But new hives get oil...primer and topcoat. I have some boxes that got that treatment and don't need touchup while others that had latex coats show bleeding or fading. They're not bad, they're just not the same. Finally, I gave up on latex for my house windows. They always stuck after I painted them. Switching to an oil based paint solved the problem. The paint just hardened up better and the windows stopped sticking. I even stripped one window of the latex that I put on and re-applied oil base. That solved the problem. Mind you, latex is fine paint. It just has some characteristics that aren't ideal the way I use it. Oh...I do like the cleanup process with latex. Oil base is a pain.
