I just bought a few gallons of Emerald. I like the way that it went on and the coverage. I've already scrubbed a lot in many areas and the paint has been fine. I used flat. I didn't like cashmere because it had a subtle sheen.

I really want wood and not mdf... I just think wood looks nicer and I’m worried about off-gasing from the formaldehyde in the mdf. I don’t have mdf in my home, and I don’t want to add any by installing my interior doors as mdf. My biggest issue is also with pricing. The solid core mdf doors cost 1/3 of the price of the fir or poplar. The fir and poplar will cost roughly $505 a door and I have to replace 15 doors. Both prices include the jam and hinges. I haven’t been able to find a five panel door made out of maple or other harder woods. Also, I’m sure the would cost even more. My biggest concern is that I will shell out $8000 for fir doors and they won’t hold up well.

The only time heat is a concern is when you are applying the paint to surfaces that are smoking hot because of direct sun beating on it. Also, it’s harder to apply paint when it’s that hot with a brush or roller because the paint is drying so fast it’s hard to keep a wet edge. Spraying is the way to go on hot days because keeping a wet edge is not an issue with the spray. It won’t be comfortable for the poor painters working in that hot garage though.
