You would think one of the paint stores would have P&G in Baton Rouge

Bring a sample of the color you want and, typically, S-W can match it pretty closely. Paint chip, football program, book, tee-shirt, whatever...

FYI - Like a previous poster mentioned, primer seals the substrate and is formulated to bond with the intermediate and/or topcoat. Primer is not usually UV stabilized/resistant and will breakdown when exposed to the sun.

Re: Sheen
Flat paint is more forgiving if the substrate has surface imperfections. The glossier the sheen, the greater the scrubability of the painted surface, but imperfections are magnified.

Bottom Line: I've got gloss and semi-gloss on my crawfish table. It's done well for me. Good luck!
