Lowe's has recommended I use a semi-gloss paint/primer for a large outside barn because it's supposed to be more durable, keeping down costs long-term since I shouldn't have to repaint as soon. (I'm using Satin finish for the house.) I'll be using their best paint/primer combo.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Is a semi-gloss paint more economic long-term? I don't have any plans on repainting this barn for decades, if ever in my lifetime. At the expense of both paint and labor, it's gotta last.
