Behr Ultra Premium Ultra Premium Interior Paint

I work full-time and really don't have too much time or cash for much needed home improvements.  Behr Ultra Premium provided the best coverage for some minor home improvement needs...no need to pay for extra primers and no "unsightly" smells.  It IS the best paint on the market.

Valspar Interior Semi-Gloss Paint

This is the worst paint I have ever used, by far.  If you want to save some money, get Behr, if you value your time and want the best finish, stick with Benjamin Moore.

I bought 2 gallons of Valspar semi-gloss (base 4) to paint our nursery in anticipation of our first child.  The room has about 400 sq ft of walls and was previously painted with a light color, the new color was quite a bit darker.  I was fairly satisfied after putting the first coat on... until it dried.  Areas that I thought I had covered perfectly were showing through the old color.

After applying a second coat, I was horrified...

I went into a Sherwin Williams store after having a bad paint experience with a "big box" store.  They suggested Pro Mar 200 Eg Shell to complete my kitchen project. 

The paint covered in one coat except for where I tried to keep using the roller til the paint went out!  I ended up only needing 1 gallon to complete the job.

I got two gallons from another store, and the second didn't match the first.  I opened the can from Sherwin Williams and the paint was so much thicker, and the right color the first time.

behr ultra paint and primer

Behr Ultra is a paint and primer in one can. This paint saves you from having to prime the surface first and then apply your two coats of paint. Interior and exterior both provide excellent coverage so sometimes you only need one coat of paint. The exterior paint is awsome. It adheres quite well even when you can't get the surface entirely clean. From what i've noticed so far, this paint has held up very well through the elements in Ohio weather. Behr offers a good quality product at a reasonable price. Eventually the price will lower a bit more.

One coat of Glidden Interior Premium Paint, Eggshell Finish, provided excellent coverage in my bathroom. It definitely is washable. I can understand how Glidden provides Guaranteed Results. Absolutely Beautiful.

Kilz Paint

I hesitated to buy any Kilz products for a long time thinking there was a lot of hype placed on this product. You know, wanting more money for something that doesn't really work. Well, I just happened to be in Wal-Mart when they had a sale on the paint. I bought some thinking that I would give it a try, not really thinking it would work. I had some red walls that needed covering and I thought that this would be a great test to see how it would work! If it covers my red in one coat I was going to be sold on this product! Low and behold I started painting and it actually covered the red in one coat!...
