semi-gloss white

painting the trim in my house with semigloss white paint (behr). it seems to take at least 2 to 3 coats to cover well. Is there another brand that will work better, or do i just need to prepare the surface better.

Any other brand will work better.

Make sure to scuff sand the trim, it will inhibit the streaking at least.

That's about right for that product
Any good line from a Paint Shop will work and look ten times better
Ben Moore, Sherwin Williams, etc.
It will cost a little more, but as you'll see, it's less work and looks better

Yes
After applying some quality paint (with a quality brush) you'll see the difference
