Our house is also about 6 years old...back then, they seemed to use Color Wheel most everywhere. We've had painters since then complain that it is not a high quality paint. We used SW for interior painting. On a recent visit to the SW store, I was surprised to learn that TV was using SW on some new builds.

For our stucco exterior, the finish is still in good shape...some neighbors have already repainted, but mostly to change the color. We recently had our trim bands repainted a darker color for more contrast ... They had faded to almost the same as the primary color. The painter, Steve's Onsite Services, used SW paint. This facelift will probably buy us another 3+ years before we paint the rest of the house.
