A widely available waterborne acrylic enamel that gives trim, doors, and cabinets a smooth, leveled finish with easy water cleanup. It is a dependable pick for DIYers who want a refined brushed look and quality tint options from a Sherwin-Williams store, provided the higher price fits the budget.

Pros

  • Self-levels to a smooth, professional-looking finish that minimizes visible brush strokes
  • Water cleanup and low odor with the hard-wearing look of a traditional trim enamel
  • Widely stocked at Sherwin-Williams stores with strong color and tint availability

Cons

  • Premium price is higher than most big-box waterborne enamels
  • Full hardness cure takes days, so trim and doors stay soft to knocks early on
  • Not as blocking-resistant early as PPG Break-Through, so avoid closing doors too soon
