I would go with Benjamin Moore Regal paints if you can get them where you live. I've have a vague recollection of California paints being considered just average from my stint working at a hardware store. B. Moore paints are the by far the best IMHO. Make sure it's the regal line, and not the cheaper Super Hide. The regal is expensive, but it goes on like silk, and the super hide requires more coats (which means more time). Get an eggshell or pearl finish, because flat finishes are much less durable when confronted with dirt and scraping (which is not good for a little brother's room). Get a medium pile roller, a 1 1/2 inch brush, and you should be good to go (sorry, hardware store instincts kicking in). Good Luck.
