I have done my fair share of painting using various types of paint, and yes you are quite cooect in that proper preparation is the key to a good job. Specifically, Aervoe paint has the following downfalls- marring, does not stand up to wear like some others do, is very "thin" on application, time will tell as well as this paint "chalks" quite quickly. What I refer to is that some paints are more succeptable to light (sun) and will lose colour and fade. I am by no means an expert in hte field of paint, it would take a lifetime to learn. Over the years it's kind of been a pet project to learn as much as I can from as many different sources, and of course everyone has a different opinion. Others examples I can give are taht paints vary as much as anything else, typically latexes are very soft, enamels then urethanes, being the toughest. Within a group (enamels) you can see for yourself- Tremclad always is kinda soft- "plastic like" whereas an automotive paint is tougher. Just an opinion, that's all.
